Is Dancing in worship Scriptural?
This is a good question and a controversial one at that.
Let me begin by saying there are many references in the bible to dancing.
Read for yourself 1 Chronicles 15:29 2 Samuel 6:14 Psalms 149 :3 150:4
Again we return to the Tabernacle of David and there we find an expression of dance before the Lord
David himself danced before the Lord and his wife despised him, this was dedication day of the Tabernacle. We are told in Ecclesiastes 3 there is a time for everything in verse 4 it tells us there is a time to dance. Most of the Canaanite dancing was sexual lustful sensuous mostly they danced before idols, but this type of dancing by Israel was very different it was in real joy praise and part of worship before the Lord. It was particularly used in celebration and many of the festivals that Israel celebrated.
As I said before I believe the rebuilding of the Tabernacle that the book of acts speaks of is the church.
I plan to begin really soon a detailed study of the Tabernacle of David and how significant it is today.
So what about dancing in worship? I believe it is Scriptural and is fine in the right place. I also don't believe there is no special Holy two step or certain type of dance but I do believe it must not be sexual and fleshly before the Lord and also in church context or group only during celebration or celebration type songs or expression in dance in worship before God.
example below in video.
I know some of you may disagree with some of my points but I do believe all things should be decent and in order.In the Tabernacle of David things were done in order certain people were given specific jobs during worship and this was 24/7. I will talk in more detail when we look at this subject The Tabernacle Of David.
So in conclusion yes Dancing is fine in the right place before God
Look at the meaning of the word rejoice

rejoice
REJOICE, v.i. rejois'.
To experience joy and gladness in a high degree; to be
exhilarated with lively and pleasurable sensations; to exult.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but
when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Prov. 29.
I will rejoice in thy salvation. Ps. 9.
REJOICE, v.t. rejois'. To make joyful; to gladden; to
animate with lively pleasurable sensations; to exhilarate.
Aaron
