Others have pretty much beat this to death perhaps,
but is choreography always wrong? Not just "steppin'" - but in general? In the Temple worship in Jerusalem they used what we might call choreography - even to to the point of having some participants' places carved in stone.
There was a procession and a "performance" that followed a set liturgy. CofC people would argue that the whole affair was "under the law" and that my attempt to appeal to the Temple worship pattern is something that was done away with in the New Covenant. But then again, they also throw out the musical instruments as well.
Is choreography "bad" or just certain styles of dance? Obviously some "styles of dance" are bad... but you know what I mean? In Jerusalem they had huge processions with a different program for the diiferent feasts. David intiated this with his celebrated dance and praise. By Solomon's time the whole thing was an elaborate affair. Would we be wrong to do this?
Also, what about other Jewish dances? People with their arms over each other's shoulders; dancing in a circle. The "steps" of each participant are the same, but hardly very elaborate. Does this honor God?
