God’s Ordained Liturgical Dance Praise Dance School of Ministry

GOLD Praise Dance School of Ministry is a unit under Pamela Grimes Ministries Inc and provides services such as: dance workshops, conferences, seminars and lectures to dance ministry teams age 13 years and older; however, the heart of this ministry is for dance leaders; the ones leading the dance ministries in the church.  This ministry is most beneficial to leaders because truly, if you give a man a fish, he and his family eat one meal, but if you teach a man to fish, he and his family can eat an entire lifetime.  The teaching and instruction given in this course curriculum will equip leaders and their dancers to win a lifetime battle against the enemy in every area of their lives by utilizing what God has said in scripture concerning dance.
 
Course Description:
GOLD Praise Dance School of Ministry builds a solid, unshakeable foundation concerning dance based on the Word of God through scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.  Dance leaders will embark upon a 6-month journey of an in-depth study on the subject of dance.  The leaders will follow the history of dance throughout the Bible and gain revelations that will free their minds and unlock the mystery of the Gospel through movement.   Leaders are encouraged to lead as pioneers on the cutting edge of creativity in the ministry of dance as on open door to Church transformation and soul-winning for Christ.  Leaders are trained to view the ministry of dance as God’s universal language.
