Founder/Executive Director, Marcia Cody, RN, CGFI, had been teaching Zumba (R), which was fun and effective, but it vexed her spirit. Being a trained dancer, she was led by God to create a spiritually sound, fun and effective, "Praise Dance Fitness" program. Paul, AME Church's women's retreat. What is Highest Praise Dance Fitness?
• Dancing to praise, worship and inspirational music (Minimum 12min
. 3x/week)
• No more excuses
• Confessions and Scriptural Declarations
• Eating healthy wholesome foods and fasting from unhealthy foods. Our Foundational Scriptures:
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and (that your body) may keep well, even as (I know) your soul keeps well and prospers. (3John2 AMP)
Let them praise His name in the dance…To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. (Psalm 149:3,9 KJV)
Our Motto: Praise Dancing was not intended by God to be a spectator sport! Our Core Values:
• Holistic- To facilitate Health and Prosperity: Spiritually, Physically, Mentally and Financially.
• Powerful- Praise adds God’s “super” to our “natural” efforts leading to accelerated, supernatural results.
• Divine- God’s Presence makes our dancing Divine. “For where two or three are gathered together in my name (Jesus), there am I in the midst of them” (Mathew 18:20) “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” (Psalm 22:3 KJV)
• Fun- Keeping it fun leads to being consistent. Consistency leads to Success! Meditate on these Scriptures for transformation of God’s Holy Temple
1Cor 6:19 Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, whom you have received (as a gift) from God? You are not your own. (AMP)
Rom 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of (all) the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies (presenting all your members and faculties) to God which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. (AMP)
Mathew 4:4 …It is written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. (AMP)
Matthew 17:21 But, this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting.
