When Dance Ministry Meets Technology

This article was first published in Paneh's January 2011 newsletter.  If you'd like to receive relevant articles when they first appear as well as upcoming events, discounts and promotions, you can sign up for our FREE newsletter on the right.

With the influx of technology, the dance ministry community has been able to embrace new technology to help deliver their message.
 
While dance ministry in churches was not as popular as it is now, I can only imagine some of our predecessor's fear that their cassette tape would be "eaten" by the cassette player in the middle of their ministry piece!  If you grew up in the 80s at some point you used a pencil to try to fix your favorite cassette!
 
Today, one of the dance ministers greatest fear is the infamous CD skipping or not playing at all!  While the technology isn't perfect, it was a great leap from cassettes.  Here are some things you can do to minimize the risk of your CD skipping or not playing:
 
-  Burn 2 copies of a new CD each time you minister.  CDs are inexpensive and most new computers come with burning software.  If you don't know how to copy the song from the original CD, then you can probably buy it from Amazon Music for $0.99
 
- Make sure you are using CD-Rs made for MUSIC.  Some CD players will not play burned data CDs.  Most will play any CD formatted for music
 
CDs will soon be a thing of the past!  More music is being purchased in digital formats.  You won't have to worry about a CD skipping if you can plug your digital music player directly into the sound system!  This option is becoming more popular…but like it's predecessors….it is not fool proof!  You need to make sure the sound person is tech savvy enough to operate your device.  Also, let's make sure the device is not running on low batteries!
 
It used to be if you wanted to mix, cut or fade a song, you had to hire a professional sound engineer.  Now, there is free software available to help you do just that! 
 
Technology has also changed the way we are able to distribute and exchange information.  Not to long ago, if I wanted to send out a newsletter…it was through the postal system.  Now, it can be done through email.
 
Here are some recent products / services taking advantage of the technology at our disposal:
 
Company Keepers: Dance Ministry Daily on Kindle!  Authored by Min. Rekesha Pittman, this devotional provides a view on all aspects of dance ministry.  There is an entry for every day of the year.  Though, if you're like most…you'll probably read more than one day at a time!  If paperbacks aren't your thing…this book is available in e-format.  Read it on your favorite e-reader, smart phone, or computer!

All Things New

January 18, 2011 by Lakita  
Filed under News and Updates

Personally, 2010 will go down as one of the most memorable years of my life!  If I had to sum it up, it would be ALL THINGS NEW.
It started in January when I transitioned to a new job.

That same month, a launched a new website – Personal Finance Journey
A few months after that, I was forced to purchase a new vehicle when I was rear-ended by a drunk driver. (Praise God, I walked away without major injuries!)
The following month the Lord blessed me to be able to close on my new house
And my biggest event of the year took place on 10-2-10 when two became one and Anthony & I started our new life together.
Then He who sat on the throne said,
“Behold, I make all things new.”
- Revelation 21:5


I share all this because through my 2010 life experiences the Lord was speaking and revealing to me that He wants to do a “new thing”, however our routine can hinder the move of God.  Once we find something that works, our nature is to hold on to it and develop a formula for success.  However, we must remember we serve an omniscient God who is the ultimate creator and creative one!  Dance minister, you don’t have to keep dancing to that same song because it gets a crowd reaction.  The Lord has something fresh for you!  If you are feeling stagnate because what used to work does not seem to be working anymore, I encourage you to seek HIS face.
