TAMBOURINE DANCE
Dance is a praise and worship offering to the Lord and a response to being in the
presence of the Almighty. Dance is demonstrated by motioning the body, hands, and/or
feet rhythmically, using prescribed or spontaneous steps and gestures. Every movement is
to be expressed in a manner that gives glory to God rather than to ones self. 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.
The tambourine or timbrel is the Jewish symbol of victory and jubilee. Miriam,
the sister of Moses, picked up the tambourine and led the women in triumphant dancing
after crossing the Red Sea. God freed Israel from the bondage of slavery in Egypt. He
then prepared and led them to the Promised Land where they could freely worship. As we
pick up our tambourines and dance, we join in the freedom found in the Exodus story.
The joy of our salvation is kindled afresh each time we play our timbrels and we are
reminded of the joy that is to come when Jesus Christ (Yeshua The Messiah) returns.
This actual pattern can be found in the Ambassador Tambourine Dance Choreography Book
with the complete Word study and explanation of movements.
