How to respond to anti-dance arguments

[Dave]

Here's something I've been thinking about recently:



How do you respond to someone who feels that worship dance (of any form) in church services is not permissible, based on their reading of the Bible. They accept that the Old Testament contains references to dance and worship, but would say that there is no evidence for it in the New Testament. They also use theological arguments to claim that dance is in the same category as the sacrificial system and is not applicable for believers in Jesus.



I have my own ideas, but would like to know what other people think.



(This is a hypothetical question based on some things I've read, and I'm not in discussion with anyone who actually holds this view.)
