After the ark was brought back to Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 6, the bible says in Vs 14b that "... David was dancing before the Lord with all his might" he danced so much that in Vs 20b one of his wives, Michal started feeling ashamed, when she saw him she said, "...How dignified Israel's king was today! He was exposing himself before the eyes of the slave girls of his palace staff-like a mindless fool might expose himself!"

And David replied her in Vs 22a saying for God's sake, " I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes."

Somewhere at the back of my head, i was wondering just how David was dancing. What dance steps did he employ? Was he dancing Makossa? or Skelewu? Azonto? Did he twerk a little?

I have a couple of friends, who feel some of these dance steps should never be brought into the house of God, like it's an abomination, While others feel no dance step can be created without God per say. So long as you are praising God, pls feel free to dance and "shake body", so far all is to the glory of the almighty....so what's my question exactly?

1. David danced to the extent that he was almost half naked, if he were in our time right now, would he have tried out Etighi in church? Is it right to dance Shoki, Makossa and the likes in church?

If your answer is "Yes"...why do you think so? Why do you think God would be pleased and cool with you dancing such in church? Why bring a new dance craze to His house?
Wouldn't it keep reminding people of the real purpose or where and how the dance came about?

If your answer is "No"...why? The bible tells us to glorify God in all things, so why is moving my body the way i know how to not glorifying God? So a new convert can not glorify God in the way they feel comfortable with? wouldn't that drive them from church?

What's your take on this issue guys? and personally would you rock any of these dance steps in church?
