Anointed Joy is a Christian dance group, which prepares and presents worship dances to give praise, honour and glory to God.
Why We Dance
Liturgical dance is a physical expression of our desire to worship God. The Bible tells us to praise the Lord with our hearts, our minds, our souls, our bodies. Praise the Lord with harp and lute! Praise the Lord with dancing! The liturgical dance team (Anointed Joy, Raise the Praise and God-A-Dance) practices often to bring an offering of movement to our worship services. The dancers use this opportunity to give back in worship, the gift of ability and movement that God has blessed us with.
Liturgical dance is not meant to be looked upon as a performance, but more so, as an offering to God. It is an act of praise using the whole body. Often we dance to spiritual songs and the movements of the dance reflect the message intended through the music. The Liturgical Dance team has danced many songs representing celebration, good news, praise, even as an expression of sorrow and mourning, but always as an offering of praise to God. Praise for His gifts, praise for His love and praise for His presence in our lives.
Psalm 150 says, “Praise him with tambourine and dancing”
