21 Days of Worship Dance/Day20

The art of the worship dance solo.

I have heard many preachers say that they make sure that they always have a sermon ready in there Bible. Well I feel that a dance minister should always have a solo ready in their CD wallet. If you have an excellent solo prepared  at all times, then you will be ready for an unexpected open door to minister.

I have listed 5 tips on the art of the solo.

1. Chose music that goes with your technical dance skill level.

    A beginner should stay with short songs.  Narratives, or worship choruses with a single        vocalist or small vocal ensemble are best.

2. Pursue dancing with a live psalmist or vocalist. It is very effective for a soloist to dance accompanied by live music.

 

3. Be aware of spacing do not throw yourself back and forth so that your audience feels like they   are watching a tennis match.  A soloist use of spacing and direction is much more simplified than a group dance peace.

4. Interact with the audience. Draw them in and let them worship with you. Do not make it seem as though they are looking at you from the outside. Your solo is not a time for your personal devotion. It is a time for you to give to the Lord and lead others into worship.

5. Relax and enjoy worshipping the Lord do not worry about the people looking at you. Remember if you lift  Jesus up ,Jesus will draw the people to himself.
