SNAKE 66: Should Christians Dance? (Social Dancing, Not Worship)

Aug 26, 2025    Tanner Cartwright, Jerry Dorris

In this episode, Join us as we discuss the role of dancing in Christian communities, its cultural significance, and whether it's biblically supported. From group dances like the Virginia Reel to the importance of modesty and celebration, we explore how dancing can foster community while staying true to biblical principles.


As elders at Reformation Church in Shelbyville, KY, we share personal stories, cultural perspectives, and scripture-backed insights on this topic. Is dancing in church appropriate? How does it align with spirituality, gender roles, and parenting? We answer these questions and more, offering a candid look at how churches can navigate this often-debated issue.
