The Bible calls us to praise

Does GOD need our praise?  I believe no.  For GOD is still GOD no matter what.

Why then should we praise?  

First, because it is a command.  It says in the Bible, "Come within his gates giving thanks, to his courts singing praise, give thanks to Him and bless His name!" (Psalm 100:4)

Second, GOD is enthroned in our praises.  He loves our praises. He is so pleased with our praises that He literally surrounds Himself with and bathes in our praises (2 Chronicles 5:13-14)

Third, we were created to praise.  The Bible says, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His own, so that you may announce the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light."  (1Peter 2:9)

We are called to worship Him -- for He is worthy of praise.

So wherever you are, whatever you do, whoever you are, let us all give praise to our one and only GOD! Amen! Alleluia! Amen!

This is one of our favorite and most used tambourine pattern.  We usually use this during fast songs.

Sharing what we learned

Our dance ministry wishes to share to the world what we have learned - tambourine patterns, choreographed movements, flag patterns, and everything else.  We certainly hope that this blog will help us spread our love for GOD.


Our inspiration is from the brilliant worship dancer, Ms. Magrate Yap.  Though we haven't met her, we are privileged to dance what she teaches.  Our mentor is Bro. Elmer Semilla from the El Shaddai whom we will always be forever grateful. =)
