Rookie Tambourine Dancers

We started training for tambourine dancing for only less than 2 weeks and then we presented it during the church's 6th anniversary last August 1. You could imagine how tensed I am! There were 8 of us and only 3 of them are Thai youth. I'm the oldest among the group and the only married one. It doesn't stop me to join the group coz I really wanted to learn tambourine dancing and when this opportunity came, I won't let it pass. Thanks for hubby for supporting me. He's there to take care of Hyzyd while I'm on practice.

Since I started blogging, whenever there will be special things happening to me, I want to document them all. How I wish I have 2 digital cameras during that show so that the other camera will capture still pictures while the other one will do the videoing. My brother's digital camera isn't working already so he lend to me the batteries and memory stick just in case. Unfortunately, during our show the 2GB memory card that was used has 2movies downloaded on it. I forgot to delete them so it was filled for few minutes only and it didn't finish capturing the whole show. My bad!

Here's our show. Excuse the mistakes...he..he...I just wanted to post it here so that I could track how the rookie tambourine dancers are doing until the next show:


The church don't have a large stage so we just maximized the space provided for us and most of the time I'm not in the video coz the building's post is hiding me...he..he..It's ok for me so that most of my mistakes were hidden from you...LOL!

It's me taken by surprise. My hubby didn't tell me that he'll snap a photo of me. I forgot to tuck in my tummy...LOL! if you're familiar with tambourine dancing, you'll notice that I wore not the usual dress for tambourine dancing but we love this uniform with a touch of Thai culture.

My baby ran to me even we're not yet finished dancing...LOL! I wonder where's the daddy? He's busy videoing the show...LOL!

Tambourine Dancing

I always dream to learn tambourine dancing and that dream will be realized soon...*excited*....

I never thought that it's not yet too late for me to learn tambourine dancing. Thanks be to God that a He's sending someone from Philippines to come over here inThailand to teach us...*grin*. She's been singing and dancing for the Lord since she's a little child and when she saw that the church where we fellowshipped has lots of tambourines kept in a basket, she volunteered to teach tambourine dancing . We started our practice last Saturday and so far so good! We hope to showcase what we've practiced during the church's anniversary this coming August!

I love dancing for God. Dance is a praise and worship offering to the Lord and response to being in the presence of the Almighty. Dance is creative and reflects our Master Creator from whom creativity originates. Playing the round tambourine drum as a percussion instrument and combining dance movements constitutes a powerful and unique expression which reflects upon the end-time celebration in heaven.

In tambourine dancing, each series of movement and tappings of beats of a particular routine or choreography is called "pattern". All patterns are given a title, a key scripture verse and an explanation along a choreography diagram and detailed instructions. A specific Biblical principle is assigned to each pattern much like a word is correlated to a hand motion in a sign language. When we play our tambourines and dance we are declaring God's Word in our lives and in the earth. Ephesians 6:17 states that the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. Thus, our tambourines and dancing with them becomes a visible prophetic sign of wielding, as a sword, God's truth.

P.S. Photos of our practice and show (if ever) will be uploaded next time:)
