Torah said:
Davidic Dance, is birth from Israeli folk dancing. Many of the old Israeli folk dancing was choreographed to songs that were prayers. But also the steeps were added to secular songs. One must be careful of the lyrics to some of the songs that may be on a CD, [unless it is a Messianic CD] we have bough Israeli folk dance CD and found some of the songs were not appropriate and others were old blessings.
Our congregation has had two of the teachers come to our congregation from Israel, to see how the Davidic Dance was used in our congregation and they were pleased.
I say if you can go to “Karmiel Israel” then Go!
I've been busy with applying for a job these last few days,
(Please pray for me about that!), so this is the first I've seen this thread. How great to come back here and find another site devoted to Davidic Dance.!
I have been dancing for and with the Lord for over 16 years now, and choreographing for almost as long and currently co-lead the dance ministry in our small Messianic Synagogue.
Torah, I totally agree with what you've said.....it's just what I was thinking when I read the question. Thanks!
For anyone here hasn't been to the Davidic Dance thread in the Dance Forum, I recommend a visit. Among other things, there's been a sharing of some choreography, as well as an entire post devoted to a listing of Davidic Dance websites. Several of them, on my fast-track link for a while now, give steps to many of the popular songs, "golden oldies" as well as "newbies", and everything in-between. And sometimes you'll find more than one set of steps to the same song, such as "Days of Elijah".
I've even found a website solely devoted to dance worship, although not all Davidic, but good otherwise....especially for ideas.
Anyway, pm me if you have any questions.
And I do have one myself: Does anyone know of any Messianic/Israeli dance conferences or workshops (other than the Messiah Conference--can't afford to go right now, especially physically) coming up here in the NY/NJ area?
