So, do I believe He danced?! Sure do...!!

Zephaniah 3:14-17 says that YHWH will rejoice and dance over His people in love and joy.

Shout for joy, daughter of Zion,
Israel, shout aloud!
Rejoice, exult with all your heart,
daughter of Jerusalem!
Yahweh has repealed your sentence;
he has driven your enemies away.
Yahweh, the king of Israel is in your midst;
you have no more evil to fear.
When that day comes, word will come to Jerusalem
Zion, have no fear,
do not let your hands fall limp,
Yahweh your God is in your midst,
a victorious warrior.
He will exult with joy over you,
he will renew you by his love;
he will dance with shouts of joy for you
as on a day of festival.
from The Jerusalem Bible

As a dispensationalist I believe this refers to a time in the future when Israel is restored, however, I also believe it applies spiritually to God's people right now. I think it shows that God is so in love with us that He is giddily dancing over us.

My opinion is that Jesus went to a wedding and changed water to wine. Traditional Jewish weddings have lots of dancing, drinking, and eating.
Yep you bet he did. He was probably the biggest dancer there.

Do I have Biblical proof that he actually did dance? NO
Do I care if anyone agrees with me? NOPE

David danced before the Lord and it pleased Him so I would hope that when He took on flesh he would do similar things.
