Pray for God's anointing on your dance.

Make sure there is room to use them at the
back of the church, only go to the front if you are invited.
-
Be sensitive to other people in the congregation.
-
When not using the flags, put them away or out of reach of children.

Yes, but in church this is better to be rehearsed/choreographed before hand,
with the other dancers.

-
How do I use a flag.?
-
Most of the dance actions are created from the main shape of a large figure 8, and while trying this out remember to keep your flag/sail at all times off the floor, and away from other
people.
-
Always warm up before using a flag, and if possible try out your flag in the space you will be dancing in.
-
How do you make a flag or can they be bought?
-
Some dance teachers do make and sell flags, like Andy or Marie Bensley.
-
For me I made my own. This can be done by buying garden cane or dowel. Then cut to the size of pole you require.
-
For material, I started out with curtain lining (it needs to be very light), and doesn't need normally a hem on every edge.
-
To attach the material to the pole, fold over a hem, push the pole through, stitch to hold in place and at the finished ends, secure with sticky fitters or double sided tape.
-
Your pole should be 25 cm's longer than the length of the flag.
-
Choice of song to dance to?
-
Be open to God's leading in free dance.
-
In choreography you could use "My Jesus my Savior" (Hillsongs) or "We want to see Jesus Lifted High" by Doug Horley.
