A faith‑centered form of movement ministry that uses dance to communicate reverence, prayer, and biblical themes. It blends elements of ballet, modern, or cultural styles, but its purpose is spiritual expression rather than performance. Whether improvised in the moment or shaped through choreography inspired by scripture or worship music, its focus is on honoring God and deepening the worship experience.
The liturgical dance style is rooted in movement and rhythm, where dancers use hip‑hop, street, Afro‑fusion, or contemporary styles to honor God and express their faith. In the mega million, African American, Bapsit church it is more about performing for an audience and less about offering praise, telling a testimony, or flowing with the spirit of the music, very much entertainment.
