Why Dance?

Tell us why do or did you do this or why are making this sacrifice to minister in dance? Speak from your heart. Is it for yourself, is it for exercise, is it to be seen, is it for God, why?

Does dance require more?

Share your experience in preparing as a dancer for an event or conference. Many people don't realize the scarifice a dancer gives to "make room" within their schedule to devote extra time in preparing a choreographed dance. Not only do we as dancers put in hours of rehearsal time to bring forth excellence, but we also sow financial resources to purchase worship garments and materials for props or praise enhancers.

Write your experience from the place you are now in life or was at the time you were preparing as a dancer for an event or conference. For example, if you are a mother of small children, write from that perspective. If your plate is already full when an opportunity to dance is offered, what are some of the steps you've taken to adjust your schedule and to temporarily shift your focus? How does being married or single affect your contribution? Write about the financial sacrifices. Be open with your thoughts. For those of you who are artist in music or song as well as dance, compare the two in preparation for an event. The both require the sacrifice of time and practice, but what else.
