The began this I think as a way for the deaf in the church to have something productive to do...take part as it were.
There are deaf folks in this group as well as hearing folks, and it is beautiful to see.
At the church I now attend, the children have a group 'Signs of Praise'. It is so neat to see the children, some very young, signing.
And by the way, we have deaf members of our church as well.
I do not consider what these 2 groups do as dancing or entertainment at all...

I find it both a blessing and entertaining. I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
