I know that the truth can hurt. But let be real, when we call ourselves christians we need to look a certain way. The dance was perfect. But more covering would be more appreciate.

The music is PERFECT for a lyrical piece to be choreographed to and I believe that should have been done instead of using the words. The instrumental would have allowed the dancers to perform a magnificent piece as they did and make strong opinioned Christians feel better. In my opinion I do not think God is offended by these ladies performing to a worship song, but He would just hope that people as a whole would look at the inner instead of the outer. Beautiful dancing ladies!! Instrumental

I to like a lot of people have said am a Christian first and foremost and a dancer. I have read the comments posted on this video and others and could solve the issue very easily. I do not think that any of the negative comments are meant to hurt these young ladies but to make them aware. To some Christians it is offensive that these young ladies are not fully clothed, but in the dance world this is perfectly fine. Cece Winan's song is absolutely beautiful both the music and the words.

The dance was amazing. Looking at the previous comment, I see no problem with your costumes. I don't think you need to have dress code for praising God. He accept everybody just the way they are. Adam and Eve didn't have clothes when they were first created.

Thank God that Jesus was not like man or we might never have had a savior. He looked at the heart and people deeply criticized Him for this and eventually crucified Him because they "knew" that God "would not be pleased" with what He was doing and saying! Sounds so similar to a lot of the comments I've seen on here and in churches. People "think" they know what God thinks! But His thoughts are not our thoughts. . .or so I've heard.

Those women totally missed the whole point that I was there to praise God with the gift he had given me because in their so-called Christianity they were too consumed with worrying about my outer appearance (my arms showing!) to even receive what I was really doing. Although I would not dance to a Christian song half naked, I also am concerned that people are so judgemental and overly focused on the outside that they forget to be concerned with what's on the inside like Jesus so clearly was!

showing during my dance and complained to him afterwards at how "innappropriate" they felt it was. I was incredibly hurt that something I was doing from my heart to praise God was belittled to my "outfit"!

I am a Christian who happens to be a dance teacher and have mixed feelings about the comments I have seen on this dance. I've been a dancer all my life and cried the first time I had the chance to praise God with dance in church because I've wanted to do that all of my life, but because of the close-mindedness of people in the past, it was unacceptable, until now. Although I was fully clothed, and I danced at the pastor's request, there were women in the church that had a "problem" with my arms

Those people that have no respect for the Bible which says to dress modestly, of course would have no problem with the costumes. These dancers are presenting a christian song, they should at least dress the part. Either that or just stick to trashy songs.

In contrast to the very rude comments before mine, I don't think there is anything wrong with your costumes. You guys are amazing dancers. Thank you for posting these videos.
