Studios in Brooklyn That Teach Worship Dance Praise

In ancient times, as shown in the Old Testament of the Bible, dancing was an accepted practice to show worship to God. While church leaders frowned upon it during the Middle Ages as part of pagan practices, the practice continued. In the 20th century, praise dancing was finally accepted by many churches and in the Christian community as another way to worship God. Now, many studios are offering classes in this style of worshipful dance, and Brooklyn has several to choose from for those seeking classes in their area.
