SPIRIT OF PRAISE SACRED ARTISTRY INTERNATIONAL

Transforming Nations with Kingdom Purpose

For more than 17 years, Rev. Stephanie B. Adams and Spirit of Praise Sacred Artistry International have travelled the world specializing in teaching on the spiritual disciplines, principles, and techniques of liturgical dance including prophetic dance, congregational worship, biblical foundations of dance, spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry, evangelism, missions and so much more in a radically unique way. The teaching invites an intergenerational, multi-ethnic, interdenominational delegation of students and participants to receive liberation through the anointing of the Holy Spirit as they worship God through movement. The teaching is facilitated by Rev. Stephanie Butler Adams and her professionally trained faculty in a variety of settings including universities, churches, conferences, and retreats for the purpose of equipping individuals to transform nations through excellent, artistic ministry.

Upon written consent of the Pastor, Ministry Director, or Conference Host, Rev.

WHAT IS LITURGICAL DANCE?

Liturgical Dance is derived from the root word, “liturgy” which when translated is defined as a “Eucharistic rite”. Believers know the ‘Eucharist’ to be related to Holy Communion; a ‘Rite’ is a public ceremony (usually with a deep spiritual meaning) or process customary to a Community. Therefore, we may define Liturgical Dance as Spiritual Communion with God through Movement in a Public Setting.
Liturgical Dance may also be referred to as “Sacred Dance”, as it is set apart, and held as holy unto God.
It may encompass a variety of movement genres including Ballet, Modern, Jazz, African, Israeli Folk, hip-Hop, Urban Contemporary, Tam, and more! It’s all about the MOTIVATION behind your movement, and knowing for WHOM you are dancing. For more information on the ministry of liturgical dance, and one’s lifestyle as a worshiper, purchase and study Rev. Stephanie’s book entitled, “My Body is the Temple: Encounters and Revelations of Sacred Dance & Artistry”.
