Here at The Ark, we hold prophetic dance as a high priority in our worship. Just as the worship leader or pastor has importance, so does the people of the dance. Many people overlook the dance aspect of worship, thinking that a clap or raising the hands is the perfect picture of respectable worship; Ecclesiastes tells us that there is a time for everything, but since our Father has called us to be childlike, there is a time to dance, to be free as children like we all once were. Prophetic dance is a direct portrayal of the heartbeat of the Father that is seen with the human eye. It brings freedom not only for you but also for others. It can speak what the Lord is saying to his Bride, convey what the Bride is saying to the Lord, or act out what is happening in the Spirit. The Lord works through dance in numerous ways, as well. By stepping out in faith and our eyes fixed on His, away from fear and a performance mindset, God can bring healing, salvation, victory, deliverance, and freedom through our movements, making a physical declaration with our bodies; the Word tells us to speak of the nonexistent things that He has foretold and promised as if they already existed. (Romans 4:17)

The enemy has twisted the importance and the way that believers perceive the dance in many ways through things we have seen or heard of that don’t glorify our Maker, but, in fact, there are actually more commands to dance in the Bible than there are to clap our hands! That truth in itself brings to light the importance of dance to our Papa and how much we, as the Body, have had a twisted and contorted view of where dance should be placed in worship, whether it’s in a gathering or during our relational time alone with the Lord. Just as dance is beautiful to the human eye, we were made in the likeness of our Father. We cannot fathom how much more dance completely ravishes the heart of our Maker!
