Alabaster Box

[MrsPreacher2009]

modesty please.

[cosptv]

Very Nice!

[micahturnbo1]

I don't feel like they were actually dancing to Jesus! I just felt like this was another competition dance. I felt nothing from it! Do they even know what the song meant? All I saw was look at my pretty extensions and pretty turns while I show off my body as I where nothing. This song is about a deep relationship with Jesus not about your technique. Lord restore the dance back to you in purity and holiness.

[revtammy]

THIS IS A SHAME BEFORE GOD!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE MEANING OF THE SONG IF YOU DID YOU WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DRESSED LIKE THAT. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU ALL TO BE TAUGHT HOW TO BE DRESSED WHEN DANCING BEFORE THE LORD. I WOULD BE MORE THE HAPPY TO HELP PLEASE CONTACT ME AT: rev.tammy@yahoo.com

[Businesssuccess101]

Your gifting is from the Lord- continue to use it to bring Him Glory-AMEN

[Jadash09]

yea they arent dancing to alabaster box smh lmfao

[3lalolove]

Nice dance, and choreography. I wonder if they know the story of this song is from the bible. lol That story is devoted to Jesus! LOL All they need to do is add some clothing on their bodies and it would be a REALLY good dance. : )

[blkbtrfly058]

Please cover up and portray MODESTY to God's children. If for none other than the sake of the men whose hearts are trying to be in the right place but who are creatures of their physiology and as such are hard wired to enjoy the beauty of the female form. This was not a dance to the glory of the Lord of Hosts, this was a hollywood performance designed to titilate.

[missdoaks]

I love this song and the message it represents. You guys are definitely talented dancers but obviously the song was just background noise while you displayed your talent. I so wish you guys would have portrayed the words to this song and not just dance on top of it. What a pity because i'm sure this would have been a wonderful praise dance!

[Realtyid]

Awweomee!

[MimiKoby]

Please consider the Lord's view point (upon high) and not your own. His ways are much higher than our and He is the ONLY judge.

The ballet dance was beautiful and the song choice was an honor to our Lord and Savior! I think they sowed an incredible seed of God's love. P.S. I'm pretty sure that ballet is a beautiful gift from God and their outfits were totally appropriate.

[merdemil]

@MimiKoby

You have absoloutely no idea what you are talking about. I'll pray for you while I'm praying for them I will also pray for you. Satan has successfully deceived you my friend.

[dremie10]

Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."Do not stop him," Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, or whoever is not against us is for us. Mark 9:38-40

[amgrateful1]

There is nothing alabaster in this dance!

Its okay to do choreography but it always good to be in context. In this case the dancers were completely off!!

[jrginacoleman]

It is quite obvious that they don'i know what this song is about.

[peacheslovesjesus]

The dance wasnt for them.....it was for who ever hearts Jesus wanted touched. The shovel might have not been pleasing, but the "seed" was planted. Thats all that matters. Praise the LORD

[jazminedeoshae1]

y would u guys even b worried about what type of clothing they hav on as long as they chose to worship the lord and not b ashamed he also said come as u are. dnt get me wrong i mnot sayin that what they are wearing is ok but hey they werent ashamed to praise him

[msredcherry11]

outfittttts not appropriate oooohh please people..have some pity

[tajanae1000]

This is a CHRISTIAN song. Was this at a ballet or something? Your moves are beautiful but your inappropriate costumes or whatever you had on was ridiculous. Your choice of clothing did not match this song at all - try something from beyonce instead.

[angela32scriber]

you cover your self LESS when swimming or cheerleading. YOU have no idea what is in their hearts.

[Guyaneseloika]

hmmm...i can see why ppl are upset. it is a christian song with a specific message and their clothing of choice makes it contridicting, but as someone before me said...they probably aren't christian, seems like a dance competition which probably has a certain dress code for performance outfits...i enjoy the song either way and the choerography was awesome for a dance team. At least they we're in a chapel dancing like that!

[j3music]

I don't like the costumes, but not cuz I think its offensive, but cuz they ugly. Even if u want 2go Christian on them, the song talks bout Mary comn 2 Jesus as she was: n sin, as we all were/was/ or will b (life), Jesus took her as she was, "U weren't there, the nite Jesus found me. He rapd his LOVING arms round me" Yall missin whole point of the song! Its obvious they not trying 2 suduce ppl. Only a religious fool would go there. Jus b glad they dancin 2a song bout him & not the thong song!

[cherylfbrown2]

Lord What's Going On?????

[lords1child]

what is with you young teenagers

as young ladies you shouldnt dress improper like that as christians you should cover yourself up and show examples to other young ladies

[beenn15]

Here's a comment i just read:

from ShirleyHightower:

The room grow still as she make her way to ____ Some spoke in anger, heard folk whisper there no place here for her kind. LOL They just come to dance people. Close your eyes and listen to the song.

-------------------

I think she has a point. The purpose of the performance wasn't to seduce anybody. Then again... maybe they aren't christians... maybe they just liked the song and wanted to dance to it.

[lords1child]

Well i guess ur rite but everyone has there opinion my mom told me to write that actually and that was how she was feeling

[jpreciouspearl]

ok Im so confused! are you girls chritians? even if you are not are you listening to the meaning of the song? if you are have a little bit respect and dress appropiately but it you are christians read the tabernacle and the high priest garments whcih is a model for today days for a praise garment. You did a good job but the clothing is too distracting to see the dance especially for this type of song that is so meaningful

[xSpecsBabyx]

Alabaster box....

[ladylate]

This was such a beautiful dance to a beautiful song, the chopping and pasting of it really ruined it for me though. I'd like to see a full version.

[rasani77]

crazy choreograthy...superb job!

[ethel1209]

what is the title of the song?

[ShirleyHightower]

The room grow still as she make her way to ____ Some spoke in anger, heard folk whisper there no place here for her kind. LOL They just  come to dance people. Close your eyes and listen to the song.

[u2bsherrineb]

To All:

Truly these young women are gifted dancers. Praise God for those gifts. God bless your ministry. However, when one is "ministering" which is what the song intend, the dancer is telling the story to others. Your clothing whether too much or too little can be a distraction. consider to those who aren't able to see your spirit past your crotch or belly button. This is not an old fashioned idea. it's is an idea from the Word of God called "modesty". Be graceful & beautiful in moderation.

[merdemil]

This manner of dress for praise dance is beyond immodest. It is down right sinful. Any men in the audience will difinately be thinking sinful thoughts, which means while you're dancing around half naked, you are actually causing others to sin. Your pourpose should be to lead souls to Christ - not to Satan. YOU NEED PRAYER, AND YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS DOWN!! I'll do the praying; please do your part and take this down.

[SistaTabia]

These are serious times for ministry. Dance is mentioned in the Bible for two reasons..praise and seduction. Lead the people to salvation rather than the other. Please cover up!

[hockeypunkid]

mmmmmm nice vid, mine are just as good cum check em out on - Play-Cam _dot_ COM -

[bootslarue]

They are wonderful dancers, and yes, I'm sure this was just a competition, but those costumes, regardless of what spirit they are worn in, are completely unacceptable in a church at any time.

~*B*~

[goodwillworkerTMV]

I think The girls did a great job!I was at showstoppers that year with my own dance and I am glad that I got to see this dance up close.Only in the mind of a dancer can you look beond the clothing and the remarks of others to see the hard work that these girls went through to get this far!!

[PreciousSparks]

beautiful

[sainted168]

I should have posted these comments as relies to each other sorry. Any how, Dance is an acceptable form of worship and I do not believe these girls had the attitude to present themselves in a vile way. I also caution you in rebuking how others praise God. You see the Results from the Scriptures below. Michal was barren (the worst shame a Jewish woman could have at the time) for her vile rebuke of David. I really liked this dance and song.

[sainted168]

And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. II Samuel 6:22,23

[sainted168]

Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! II Samuel 6:20

[sainted168]

And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. II Samuel 6:16

[drmatt111]

wa awu hear bout eh....wey u clothes

[graciouslyinlove]

I want to write to these beautiful dancers who are in this number, don't believe one judgmental word on this page. God accepted each of us long before we were born. He denied His Son to accept us. We live because He died. The only thing necessary to receive this free gift that none of us deserve is to believe in the One who gave it. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not die, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

[graciouslyinlove]

I don't want to make a huge deal over this... but what I do want to point out is that we don't know the mind of God. This song is about a woman coming to the feet of Jesus, this woman is a prostitute. In the eyes of men that is the lowest of the low and she comes to face intense scrutiny in the midst of the super religious who think they have God figured out just to wash the feet of Jesus with her tears and this, this gesture, her sacrifice, the posture of her heart... this pleases the Lord.

[divine2003]

this looks likes a dance competition and not in a church. the techniques are great, it is NOT praise dance. this dance is showing off the techniques of the dancers, there is nothing wrong with that i think people got worked up is because of the song of choice. It is a song of Worship and the choreography had nothing to do with that.instead it' bunch of techniques. but know this if this was a Christian competition,GOD would NOT have excepted that especially with the clothing of choice.

[graciouslyinlove]

Dance has always been a controversial form of worship. Beyond that, is a costume that shows the navel controversial, perhaps, but only if you allow it to be. There is nothing vulgar about how they are dancing. I have seen more vulgarity in a church basement dance with fully dressed teenagers than I see in this number. This style of dance is about celebrating the strength and grace of the body and the beautiful lines and extensions it can create. Why can't that be an offer of authentic praise?

[graciouslyinlove]

I can't help but comment after reading some of what is written here. I am so sad to see believers acting this way. This behavior is what gives "Christians" the reputation for being hypocritical.

I love the Lord. And this song means alot to me. And I was never offended at what they are wearing. This is a costume choice presented by the choreographer, approved by the parents, and worn well by these dancers. If you listen to the lyrics, you miss the point by commenting like you have.

[leshaunda]

i am sorry,but how can you dance to that song half naked.The song is about a changed women.get it changed

[brooklynbred]

I think it is angelic

[leshaunda]

where yall clothes?

[babyJyn]

maybe the dance is good but come on yall for a God song who are u praising and further more i agree you cant be looking like u going to a danchall jumpup and expect to worship God. wear yall dress isnt good and further more for God think 2 yall. and what does those tehniueqes have to do with this song yall it doesnt fit the song yall coulda choose another song.

[rjgirly]

I have to agree with authenticpraize. The dance didn't even speak the song. Just a bunch of turns, kicks, and leg lifts. Not to mention the terribly immodest garments.

Would you pour your praise on Him like oil half naked? I doubt it.

[chocolatebunnybaby07]

This song,the dress, and some of the moves do not go together. IMO

[authenticpraize]

i agree with kiekie all the way! you all have no respect for the song or the meaning. the clothes made the whole thing very distastful and you all look like whores. you all should really be ashamed. that was just sad...very sad.

[ddalin]

there not whores!

and this is DANCE! NOT CHURCH!

i went to the dance studio with them and your forgeting this is DANCE! nobody cares about what they wear they care about techniques hun so maybe you should keep your mouth shut if you dont know anything about judging dance!

and i agree with that andrealove05 girl^^

[authenticpraize]

i had to laugh at your ignorant reply to my posting. first of all i said they LOOK like whores. also i happen to have judged many competition events and auditions and everyone knows that the clothing does matter as well as the technique.the clothing should be appropiate regardless. and finally only the guilty gets offended..i take it you were somewhere in that dance huh?

[AndreaLove05]

the lines in this dance are beautiful.

kiekie - shut up, you're talking crap.

[kiekie84]

no this is sad and sick i dont think Jesus would like sluts sining his song yes he ate with them and yes everyone sins but that like putting a Jesus song in a porno and yes this isnt a porno i know but still you wouldnt wear those cloths to the store or to a mother daughter thing or even to church so put the song to it its nasty and this sinks!!!!

[msmarie302]

walt disney-ish. but the dance isnt expressing the song...i dont get it. but it would look nice with another song

[crenea25]

Well done
