Worship Dance Moves (Part 1 Waves)

[@harvestdancer7]

Beautiful lines in this combination...I love your explanation of “how” the move happens through our body...helps me know how the move should feel and which parts of my body are producing the move. Thank you!!!

[@dancingforhim]

Glad it was helpful! Praise God!

[@debsbabz9853]

I struggle with time to practice so I find myself listening in the car and practicing in my head. Every now and then I am moving my arms.

[@dancingforhim]

I totally understand that! I do most of my choreography in my head while driving. I try not to move my arms around too much when at a stop light:))

[@shinellebenjamin6342]

I always love how you break down the movements. Makes it so easy to follow. I’m horrible with movements involving hand movements but I think looking at this with a couple practice I’ll be good.

[@ExtraOilGeneration]

I just stumbled on your channel and I am soooooooooo grateful for it already. I never had the chance to really learn well, but I do not like to settle for mediocre if I can do something about it so this channel is already helping a lot. I'm a new Sub! Thank you for all your labour of love.

[@dancingforhim]

Praise God! I’ll be teaching several classes and conferences online from now through November. So should begin posting to KZbin again around January. I hope to see you in one of the classes☺️ www.dancingforhim.com/conferences/attend-a-conference-event/august-1-22-2020-modern-dance-intensive blessings!

[@rondibond8268]

I struggle with knowing I can choregraph the smallest steps. But this is so helpful.that my confidence is increasing.

[@dancingforhim]

Thank you... Blessings!

remembering the moves

[@lucilletaylor8143]

You asked what do I struggle with....I struggle with breathing. I get winded and then feel nauseous. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@dancingforhim]

While of course checking with your doctor first, I would recommend taking a little walk several times a week, to help strengthen your heart muscle (or dance more often:) Lord bless you!

[@barbhuelsing3880]

I struggle with variety or dance vocab since I am not technically trained. But I have watched soooooo many of your posts and incorporated some. Thank you for doing what you do. I hope to attend a conference soon!

[@dancingforhim]

Praise God! I hope to see you at a conference or retreat sometime:) Practicing technique classes will help with this (modern/contemporary). Then when the Holy Spirit inspires you, the moves will be there. There are so many DFH videos that could help you develop a dance/movement vocabulary: www.dancingforhim.com/shop/dvds-on-praise-dance/dancing-for-him-33-dvds-1.html#.XkmGuC2ZNm8 I hope that helps.... But this makes a great topic suggestion! Thank you and Many Blessings!

Hello Ms.Lyn Hayden I'm from the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️

[@dancingforhim]

Hello Gina! I taught a Dancing for Him conference in the Philippines back in around 2009. Wonderful experience being there:) Blessings!

[@Sara-i-Flores]

I thank the Lord I found you ❤

[@dancingforhim]

Glory to God:) Bless you!

[@originaldainaangel2228]

That was awesome! I love the wave movements! Flows so smoothly. I am looking forward to viewing and learning this piece! And also getting more ideas for my choreography! :-)

[@dancingforhim]

Praise God! Glad you've been blessed:)

[@JeannieGGerber]

Hi Lynn, I have been working young women for about 8 years, teaching expressive spiritual dance, however, I am 67 yrs old now and have Lupus so I now have difficulty with grace and balance. Your videos are very helpful and I have taught my new group many of your moves. It is helping but the girls are ready to advance and I would love to have this DVD to help them do just that. Thank you for all you do. God love, Jeannie Gerber

[@dancingforhim]

I'm so glad you find them helpful. Blessings to you!

[@InspirationalLiTV7]

You're special💞

[@jacqueline1960amez]

Excellent suggestion. I am always looking for new movements. I struggle with request from people who think we can dance to every song. How do you politely tell one this is not a song that is danceable to in ministry. Or is every song minister able.

[@dancingforhim]

Hi Anita, I hear you... probably the best way to handle that is to thank them genuinely for their suggestion. Then tell them you will pray about it. If Holy Spirit shows you to do it you would then pray about the choreography. Then really pray about it. Down the road, if they ask you about it and you didn’t have any leading from the Lord, you might say just that... I prayed about that song and didn’t receive any leading from the Lord on it. That lets them know that you do everything by prayer and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Blessings!

[@RMSorg]

I'm new to dance and look forward to learning much!! Thank you for this!

[@dancingforhim]

Great! Blessings ☺️

[@shaede8275]

I struggle with coming up with movement that relate to the words in the song.

[@dancingforhim]

Great topic. Thanks! I'll be moving into that series of videos soon - "What does that move mean." Also, I think you would probably appreciate any of the videos that have the word "Expressive" in them: www.dancingforhim.com/shop/dvds-on-praise-dance/dancing-for-him-33-dvds-1.html#.XkmOTC2ZNm8 Many Blessings!

[@lynnesteppe7778]

[@madelynebettis3831]

I struggle with putting combinations together that flow for pieces that are more intermediate. I want to advance my choreogeaphy and technique. 🙏🏽

[@dancingforhim]

I hear you. This is tough for many people. Thank you for sharing this. It makes a good topic for a video. Blessings!

[@lynnesteppe7778]

Beautiful move

[@dancingforhim]

Praise God, thank you:)

[@tiva8968]

What I struggle in choreography is connections and emotions. I over think things when I dance sometimes instead of at times taking myself out of it and just dancing for the Lord. So I would want help with tips on how to be free and just dance.

[@dancingforhim]

Oh wow, this is a great topic that I believe many people struggle with. Thank you for the idea. Yes. Focusing entirely on the Lord while dancing is key. Prior to that, knowing the dance inside out and backwards so you may worship and not worry is also very important. Many Blessings!

[@marilynbrown9142]

It would help me to see you from the back. I have struggles with reversing.

[@dancingforhim]

I understand. thank you. blessings!

[@harvestdancer7]

I struggle with knowing which songs are for intercession or when it’s time for a song to get official choreography:)

[@dancingforhim]

The Holy Spirit usually shows me during prayer and or while listening to songs. The Lord sort of gives me the nod like yes! This one should be a dance. ☺️

[@AmyTangWorshipDance]

I love this series! Right now I'm struggling with creating some modern dance choreography that is more upbeat. I am often dancing to more worshipful or reflective songs where a smoother, flower choreography fits. But for a class of youth, I'd like to choreograph to Zach William's chain breaker. I don't want a full on hip-hop dance, but am wanting some more energetic and rhythmic moves.

[@dancingforhim]

I hear you and totally understand. I'm kind of the same way most of the time. I would (of course pray first) but then probably listen to the song over and over while moving to it freely/freestyle. Then do that in front of a mirror for a while. See what 'comes out.' Keep the moves you like. Then if you are stuck, you could look at some other up beat dances on KZbin or my Pazaz video for movement ideas. Incorporate some moves you like or that would fit, but change them up to make them your own 'new' style:) Hope that helps... Blessings!

[@AmyTangWorshipDance]

@@dancingforhim Thanks so much, Pastor Lynn. I will do that. I was thinking about watching the Pazaz video.

[@artheiadingle9450]

Fabulous

[@dancingforhim]

Glory to God:)

[@Sara-i-Flores]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marcyangel88]

My struggle right now is to have different moves within the same move

[@dancingforhim]

Oh, this is a great topic. Thank you. I understand... I like to change the stage placement of the dancers as they do the same movements. But also changing up the move can make it more interesting. Changing the way you face, making the moves larger or smaller and adding or changing levels in space with the moves help make it more interesting. Great question!

[@dawnbowles2907]

Pastor Hayden, I am having such a hard time with my arms being and remaining in a circle.

[@dancingforhim]

Hi Dawn, i suggest practicing doing angular movements (bent elbows), going from one bent elbow move to another and look at yourself in the mirror while doing. It. It kind of depends on the choreography that you are given or are doing. But practicing angular moves should help☺️ blessings!

[@rosalynneal1956]

Wow! Thank you. I have a problem in spinning.

[@dancingforhim]

Try first with quarter turns, then practice half, then three quarter finally all the way around. Try keeping your eyes to the front for as long as you can, and then let your head came back around (looking at the same spot). That is called spotting:) blessings!

[@sharettinchautegui2458]

My timeing

[@dancingforhim]

Good question... I just posted a video about that here in KZbin:) You may also appreciate my Worship Expressions and the Solo Dancer Video: www.dancingforhim.com/shop/dvds-on-praise-dance/worship-expressions-and-the-solo-dancer---video-download.html#.XkmOAi2ZNm8 Many Blessings!

[@ToniMoore-p7r]

Can I get information on the online school?

[@dancingforhim]

Hi user vd2:) Yes. Most certainly! www.dancingforhim.com/school/ There is quite a bit of information. Just click around the links and tabs. I hope to see you in the 2025 class! Many Blessings...

[@amandabrynn6853]

I struggle with floor movements

[@dancingforhim]

I hear you on that one. There are good and safe ways to get down to the floor. This is a good topic. Blessings!

[@smile-gg1xi]

I loved these movements I recently(about a month ago) put a movement like the arms/back movement into a dance I didn't even realize until now that I probably got it here I like looking at these videos because they are quick but apparently they are getting into my subconscious because it just came up while doing choreography on spot the with one of the groups I work with thanks again!😍

[@jpcurri1959]

Struggle with remembering choreography. Also sometimes my timing is off

[@dancingforhim]

Hi Janet, Thank you for the comments! Yes. Timing is an issue for many people, who have not studied music. This is a good suggestion for a new video down the road. Listening to different tempos of music and clapping your hands or tapping your feet as you listen would help. I understand about remembering choreography. Practice, practice, practice:) That will do it for sure. But if you are able to video tape the choreography and then study/practice, that should work. 'Hope that helps... Blessings!

[@jpcurri1959]

Thank you so much 💕💕😊

[@dancingforhim]

I just made a video about and posted how to remember choreography:) and the one about keeping the beat is scheduled to come out in a few weeks. Thanks for the suggestions.... Enjoy and blessings!

[@drknsmuv]

I struggle with choreography in general. It just doesn’t come naturally to me as to others.

[@dancingforhim]

I understand. Exposure to dance classes, technique and practicing will help. Also watching and practicing videos will help. DFH has many videos/dvds that will help give you a large movement vocabulary: www.dancingforhim.com/shop/dvds-on-praise-dance/dancing-for-him-33-dvds-1.html#.XkmGuC2ZNm8 This makes a good topic. Thank you and many blessings!

[@DIANA8970]

You are so cute and adorable - such a sweet spirit.
