Pastor Jonathan Romig preaches a biblical theology of dance, focusing on ballet, starting with Song of Solomon 2:8-10. Psalm 30:11a says, "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing..." What does the Bible have to say about dance? Was there any dancing in the Bible?

???? DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- What was the last ballet you saw, if any? What do you think of it?
- How do you feel about dance and why do you feel that way? Do you love it, hate it, or are somewhere in-between?
- What is your favorite style of dance? Contemporary? Ballet? Hip-hop? Ballroom? Swing? Blues? Salsa? Some other kind? Why do you like that type of dance most?
- How does the allegory of dance teach us about our relationship with God? How does dance help us understand our relationship with God’s one and only Son, Christ Jesus?
- Why is dance such a joyful event? How can dance be a way to worship God? Does dance have to be overtly religious, such as liturgical dance, for it to be an act of praise?
- Why can dancing feel so embarrassing? Why is it hard for some people to dance and not for others? What can this teach us about the way we worship?
