Of course David put her in her place:
2Sa 6:21 And David said unto Michal, [It was] before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
2Sa 6:22 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.
BUT the point is that David worshiped WITH ALL HIS MIGHT. It was not some ballerina twirl, but a spinning top that was seen.

St. Matthew..... why would he have danced in any other way than he had been trained in? What causes you to believe he would have broken rank with his traditional Jewish dance... which by the way takes alot of might... I enjoy partaking in Jewish dancing at one of our churches in Jerusalem and trust me is wears you out after a few minutes...... yet all Biblical scholars will concede that Davids dance was a typical Jewish dance.. that looks NOTHING like an out of control person losing all of their senses
