Words from some of the students who have completed Level 1

  • Charlene Edwards
    The Level 1 Course is power packed with teaching the foundations of dance ministry. This course taught me more than I expected. I got to learn about creative and prophetic worship, how to choreograph dances, build up my movement vocabulary, learn about the significance of worship dance and using worship tools (flags, banners, etc.) and so many more. So, many times I was being stretched by the video upload assignments to show I can apply and teach the concepts we studied each week. Each month was paced so well, and I love how we had support and encouragement throughout the whole process from different people, AP, graders, and fellow Dancing For Him Ministries students. My passion was re-ignited as I learned, and I am being equipped for dance ministry. Pastor Hayden’s books and DVDs are a blessing to me; I will be continue to use these resources as I continue growing in dance ministry.

    In 2010, the Holy Spirit called me to dance for Him in a way I hadn't since I was a little girl. I was excited but also a bit nervous. While searching online, I discovered Pastor Lynn Hayden's website and thought, "Wow, that would be great to take some courses." I had no idea how it worked and it seemed quite complex, but I yearned to learn one day.

    In 2020, the Holy Spirit called me to teach a group of ladies from various churches. I was once again guided by the Holy Spirit, just as I had been over the past ten years as a solo dancer. I connected with Pastor Lynn to learn more about her courses. In 2024, the Holy Spirit indicated that this was the year I would be learning more from Pastor Lynn, and He provided the finances for me to take her Level 1 course.

    Everything I've learned this year has confirmed that the Holy Spirit led me on the right path. He taught me well and wanted me to have a visual teacher to learn and grow from, which I've done this year in a wonderful way. I've learned not only physical training but also spiritual training and hands-on experience.

    I had the incredible opportunity to meet sisters in Christ in dance in Massachusetts this year. It was a moving experience to attend one of Pastor Lynn's conferences. It was beautiful to be in the same room as many women who loved the Lord and loved to dance for Him like I did. This God-given opportunity helped me understand the DVDs and books I'd been watching and reading since January. I'm in awe of the Holy Spirit's faithfulness in providing me with this experience. As a visual and hands-on learner, it helped me understand the curriculum much better.

    This year has been so special and has taught me a lot. I have much to ponder as I continue to grow in Christ through His word and dance. I loved the online video chats and the opportunity to meet some of the dancers in person. It brought everything full circle as I had already begun to get to know my dancing colleagues online during our video chats. It was so special!

    Pastor Lynn, I just want to say thank you for being such a blessing to me and all the other dancers you've impacted in such an amazing way over the years through the presence of the Holy Spirit. I look forward to starting Level 2 next year and seeing what plans the Holy Spirit has for 2025.

    Thank you again and may God bless you for all you've done to raise up Kingdom Dancers for Him!

    Hello Pastor Lynn, Our church had our women’s retreat this past weekend. Our dance team had the joy and privilege of presenting an artistic ministry activation and a choreographed dance. The whole weekend was very powerful, and the Lord really blessed both of the dances. I wanted to thank you so much for everything I learned in the two years that I studied under you in the Dancing for Him online school. I learned so much about choreography and artistic ministry activations and prophetic dance and many other things that I am being able to apply and use with our dance ministry at our church. Thank you for teaching and pouring out to others all the things that the Lord has taught you over the years

    The Level 1 course has provided me much more than a foundational introduction to worship dance. The structure and gentle guidance from the readers, graders, my Accountability Partner along with personal support from Pastor Lynn, has been an experience of caring, support and encouragement.. The weekly/monthly syllabus provided the structure needed for success, even if you happen to fall behind. Additionally, I have learned more about myself personally and spiritually as well as becoming more knowledgeable about dance basics and how to teach them to others. The course also helped me to better understand the call to dance for myself without any influence from the opinions of others. Pastor Lynn has a very big heart and leads with compassion. I feel honored to have studied under Pastor Lynn along with all involved with the DFH Worship Dance School..

    Dancing for Him Ministries, Level 1 Online School has truly been a blessing to me. This school is built on a bible-based, scriptural foundation where the curriculum steadily builds upon itself. Pastor Lynn Hayden, who has over 50 years of dance experience, has a heart for God and embraces every student, no matter their skill level. She developed a platform that challenges each student to stretch and grow in their dance ministry. Although the school is online, the courses are set up to engage the student through written assignments, video uploads and monthly school chats. I looked back on my first assignment and can see how I have grown. My confidence has increased as well as my understanding of Praise and Worship for God over the past year. God has opened a door for me, through Pastor Lynn and it was up to me to take this step and put forth the effort to grow in my relationship with Him. I am so thankful to God, to Pastor Lynn, to Dancing for Him Ministries for this wonderful opportunity.

    This Level 1 course provided me with much more than learning to teach liturgical dance. It was truly a walk of faith, personal reflection and spiritual growth. Having the structure of a monthly syllabus, an Accountability Partner and monthly video chats made it easy to successfully compete the course and has left me with a desire to learn more .

    I really enjoyed doing the DFH Level 1 Course. I really grew in my relationship with the Lord, I loved learning new dance movements from the DVD videos, and doing the Creative Dance Activations and getting inspiration from the Lord, and writing essays and poetry.

    It was so wonderful dancing with the Lord, getting quiet, listening to Him, and hearing and growing in the heart of the Father and Jesus's Love.

    I really loved all of the DFH books and DVD’s. I always would read a book or watch a Dance Video and be ministered to at just the right time I needed to hear or read something. I also enjoyed the monthly DFH Chats too.

    Pastor Lynn is a wonderful dance teacher. She is very gentle, kind, loving, helpful and really expresses the Heart of the Father. She is also very on top of all of the things she does.

    (This isn’t a part of the DFH School, but I am a part of a Friday Night Worship Zoom with a group of women that are a part of the DFH School and it has really grown my dancing for the Lord! We do lots of fun expressive and creative dance movements, dance out scripture and have really wonderful fellowship time together!)

    It was a great year! Thank you Pastor Lynn for all that you do! Glory to God!

I also met some amazing people and now I'm a part of a dance community that I didn't know existed. My AP partner has been a great help.

    Dancing forHim Ministries has been truly inspirational. The actual course settings to complete the course work is simple and effective. it is a learning journey and it stirs your passion. I am excited to finally complete the Level one program because it is a step closer to achieving some spiritual goals. The AP assigned to us as students is a divine connection, I am certain all the students can testify to that statement. The material is a lot and it provides so much information. I have learned to better my relationship with God and through worship. There is also no pressure to be perfect and Pastor Lynn has provided such a family-feel environment that I had less dificulty expressing myself via my videos. I am grateful. No one knows your journey like you do and so from my experience, I am forever blessed! Thank You God , Pastor Lynn, Suzi Herman, Shinelle Marshall and Diana Pemberton. May God continue to find use of you for His Kingdom.

    WOW! This course has been so eye-opening. I honestly did not think that I was going to get a whole lot out of this course because I have been dancing for years. I am not a very technical dancer, but I have ran a praise ministry since I was 16 years old, and I have been operating in praise dance ministry for over 16 years now. The amount of knowledge, wisdom, understanding and support that I have received throughout this program has been astonishing. Pastor Lynn is so wise and so loving, and God has truly blessed her in regard to all things dance! I absolutely loved my first year at DFH and I am so excited to begin year two. The possibilities are endless. Looking forward to another year in this program! and I definitely would recommend this school to any and everybody in dance ministry or wanting to pursue dance ministry.

    Wow, what a wonderful experience this has been. What a gift of God I received through this course. I do not have a lot of experience in worship dance or in dance but I have learnt so much and have grown in confidence in my calling as a worshipper and a minister through dance. I always liked dancing but never felt comfortable learning it the way of the world. Through this class, the Lord showed me how I could use my gift to minister to him and others and to realize the impact a worship dancer can have . I have enjoyed learning different styles of dance and different exercises. My dance vocabulary has expanded and the spiritual aspect of dancing as a weapon of warfare, deliverance, healing and a worship instrument has been solidified in me. I so enjoyed the prophetic aspect of dance and can't wait to grow in that. Overall, I praise God for showing me dancing for Him level I and opening my eyes to the wonderful creative healing world of worship dancing.

    This course has been a true blessing for me. I have gained so much useful information that not only makes me a better dancer than when I started, but also helped me to develop a deeper walk with God. All the materials provided supplied a wealth of information. They are so practical and can be used outside of dance as well. While I loved everything that I received during this course, I truly treasure our chat sessions. To be able to share with and learn from others pursuing God in the same way as I am was a divine blessing. I had many struggles during this course and felt like not completing it but I am so so glad that I pursued it to completion. Every book and DVD gave me more insight to what I want to achieve as a worship dance. This course taught me how to be a better leader and how to be more open. It will help me tremendously going forward.

    The Level 1 Dancing for Him course has truly been a blessing to me. I have learned so much. The resources are such valuable information, all the DVDs and the books. I am so happy to have them to keep and reference forever. The course is so well rounded. There is focus not only on the call to dance and the all aspects of worship dancing, but also the importance of preparing the body by practicing pilates, ballet and modern dance. It is like the course has everything that you need. I have learned about dance vocabulary. I had no dance vocabulary at all at the start of this course. It was awesome learning of all the different choreography tips and different things you can do to make the choreography interesting. I have even learned sign language in taking this course. I just love everything about the course. I have learned about ministering with flags and billows and I love all the creativity that you can do in worship dancing. The chats also have been invaluable learning from each other and sharing with one another. I feel there is so much more that I can say, but in summary I will say that taking this course has really enriched me more than I could have imagined and I thank God for leading me to Dancing for Him Ministries and am excited for what he has in store for me next as I continue on this journey in dancing for Him.

    This course has been life-changing for me and has brought a lot of healing to me as a person. It has shifted me as a Liturgical dancer into a minister using dance to reach the lost! The fact that I even completed Level 1 was a miracle with all the road blocks I had in my way-I was so sure I was going to fail but God made a way for me and honored my obedience to enroll in this school. It took me to the next level and filled in the gaps of some missing information I so badly needed as a worship dancer! This course is so rich in content I highly recommend it! Pastor Lynn is fantastic and thorough in her teaching! She really loves and cares about her students! I have a whole family of dancers now because of her and new opportunities! My AP partner which was assigned to me has been a huge blessing in my life and I know that God orchestrated bringing all of us together! If you are thinking of enrolling please do it! Your life will change! I am a seasoned liturgical dancer but I am glad to have had these teachings to propel me to the next level!

    What an amazing year it has been with dancing for Him ministries. What I can tell is I remember last year this time I was praying and asking God to show me where to sign up, to show me a place where I can learn more about dancing for Him. More about how I can step into my calling. And find a community of dancers that are like minded. Well, I searched a while and just as I decided to give up, I cried to God and I said he must help me. I then typed in the search button “Christian dance schools online”. And found dancing for Him ministries. Fast forward to when the new school year started, signed up and ready to learn. All of these books and DVDs are exactly what I needed and what I was looking for. As I was working through them from technique training to creative sign, body strength, worship flow and prophetic dance. I can see now at the end of this level 1 course how much I’ve grown in knowledge, understanding and relationship with God through dance. This also helped me understand where my place is in church and that I too can bring something to bless the people and minister to them not just by doing a choreographed dance but also in ministering the father’s heart to His people. Being a living paintbrush for God to use. I have so much more purpose then just being a worship dancer. I can truly say this is something every worship dancer should do to understand their calling the prophetic and how much purpose dance has in the church. So blessed by this level 1 cannot wait for level 2!

    The Level 1 Dancing for Him Course has been very stretching for me personally as a worship dancer and also as a dance team leader. The dance school plus the two live Dancing for Him conferences that I attended before signing up for the online school have tremendously expanded my vision of what worship dance is and how the Lord can use it and work through it. It has changed and renewed my vision for our church worship dance team and the role and purpose God has for us as part of the worship ministries of the church. There are so many things I have learned that I so want to impart to the other women on our dance team. And I so appreciate Pastor Lynn's deep desire in all her dancing to always communicate the heart of the Father.

    Final Evaluation Review

    There are no human words to explain how much of an answer to my heart cries in prayer that Dancing For Him Online school has been. I am completing Level 1 this year only by the Lord's grace and He has drawn me back to such an intimacy with Him that has so long been crowded out by "busyness". I've been dancing since childhood, ministered in dance for decades and known for a very long time that dancing for/with Him and teaching others is what I was created and called to do but became distracted by so many cares of this world and fearful of not succeeding that I never pursued teaching full time. I struggled with thoughts of not being good enough or skilled enough etc. Even when I began this school the first time last year, I became distracted and had to withdraw. This year (2020) everything has been turned upside down for everyone and I almost withdrew again but the Lord told me not to quit and Pastor Lynn was so gracious to work with all of us to complete this very trying year with encouragement and blessing! The Lord has been so very Faithful to encourage me every step of the way and every single time I get discouraged with those same old lies and has reminded me that He is the Giver of all good gifts and through the DFH DVDs, books and loving community I am reminded, we truly are Dancing for Him...it's not about us! DFH not only teaches practical dance technique and training, which I so desperately prayed for but continually reminds us to seek God's face and He will anoint us, which is what truly ministers to others! You can also see other DFH dancer's presentations, which minister to your heart and remind you that we are all made beautiful in His sight and each dance is a masterpiece of love to the Father. You also receive encouragement from other DFH previous students who have been through the Levels you are currently studying, and they encourage and give very helpful and practical tips. This school is truly life changing and I am SO VERY THANKFUL to you Pastor Lynn for your faithfulness and obedience to the Father to continue teaching and sharing your gifts with others even amid your own trials. We are praying the Lord blesses you abundantly for all you have poured into the lives of others! All Glory to Jesus!

    Level 1 definitely stirs up the gift of dance in me and has moved me to ask the question, "Why do I dance?". It provoked me to want to come closer to God and has opened my heart to the creative things the Lord can do through me.
    The technical teachings align my body to the work of dance, the spiritual teachings align my hearts to the scriptures of God of movement.
    Pastor Lynn is an amazing woman of God and heart is to help her students minister the Fathers heart more effectively.
    You will not regret going to this school, it is for leaders and or non leader. Your experience was more that dance but a new found love to dance before the heavenly Father.

Pastor Lynn knows what she is teaching and her years of knowledge show tremendously. The conference was great and I look forward to graduation.

    I always wanted to be a ballerina as a kid, but at that time it was not possible for me to get to a dance class. God called me to worship Him through dance, but I had no dancing experience, so I searched for some kind of training. I saw the dancing for Him school and I knew I want to participate in it. I was so excited. You learn so much! I got a DVD for Ballet and one for Modern Dance, for Pilates and Stretching and so on. I learned so much about choreographie, about movements and how to express in dance what the worship team is singing. You get so many ideas for dance compositions and also for leading a worship dance class and how to train them. It is so versatile!!! I learned also very much about making short dance videos and uploading them on Youtube! Also to show myself on camera and not be embarrassed about it. Also to be not so nervous when teaching in front of the camera and to talk to an invisible audience. The moodle program guides you through and each assignment brings you closer to your goal to become a worship dancer who gives everything for the Lord!

    Level 1 Dancing For Him completely changed my life as a dancer. I grew up dancing in a studio where I danced for the applause of people and to receive some kind of acceptantce that I knew I could never actually gain. When I began this school my eyes shifted from seeing through a human perspective to seeing through the eyes of the Lord. He took everything that was ever taught to me and made it brand new. He tore up every lie I had believed and gave me His truth. He took my brokenness and turned it into joy. Now it is His love and joy that fill me to overflow in my dancing. Dancing For Him allows you to develop as a dancer in His kingdom. Through the DVDs and books. Pastor Lynn teaches a variety of concepts from basic dance skills to using flags/banners/billows and includes all of her personal experiences. You are able to collaborate with the other woman and men in the school and leave with not only amazing experiences, but beautiful relationships as well. This school is life changing and I will be forever grateful for every blessing that has come upon my life from it this year. Praise, honor and glory to His name!! Thank you Pastor Lynn for your heart to worship and your gifts that you continue to share with all of us.

I have gained wisdom and knowledge of what it means to Worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. My relationship with the Holy Spirit has gone to new levels of intimacy because of my worship. There were times when I was stretched out of my comfort zone but I knew that if I just pushed through it would all be worth it. I'm so glad I did.

    Saying that my experience as a Level one student at the Dancing for Him Ministry school was a great experience was a great experience is an underestimate. Having only about 18 months of dance as a background, entering this school was actually a step of faith. I had no idea what was in store for me. All I know is that at the end of the year I’d hope that I would have acquired some help and resources to help me grow in this gift of dance. What I received this first year was so rich and full of information that it’s embedded in me for years to come. The DVDs were so clear and resourceful that they enabled anyone to take part and learn from. What I truly love about this year is that I learn so many hands-on concepts that I was able to incorporate in my solo pieces and also take back possibly to a team. In fact, since I began the school and started using the things I was learning, I could see so much growth and creativity. Most of all though, this is not a school where you will get intimated or fearful to share. It is catered to all levels. All the DVDs are designed in a way so that the beginner dance can follow and participate and also there are opportunities for the move advance to push themselves further. I can wait to see what’s next as I move on the next level

    Final Course Evaluation Essay

    Oh my goodness, this course with Dancing For Him Ministries, has surpassed every expectation I had as I began down this road to worship dancing. I retired from a sewing business a year ago and was looking of things to do with my spare time that I would enjoy doing that would give glory to YHWH at the same time. I decided to try this course as in my younger years I loved dancing and was in dance classes most of my growing up years. Wow, this course lit a fire under me, and opened doors for me to interact with my five grand daughters in such a fulfilling way! They have become my little dance team that I get to practice what I’m learning with! Thank you Pastor Lynn Hayden for giving of yourself to so many of us that we too can dance for HIM! Praise and glory be to His Holy Name!

    When i was asked to lead the dance ministry at church i knew i was called but I also knew that it was my job to prepare and give God my best. That is exactly what this course did for me. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who feels called to dance ministry. I've learned so much. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store.

    DFH LEVEL 1, 2019, FINAL WRITTEN COURSE EVALUATION - CLAUDIA OTALORA
    For me DFH On line School has been a wonderful joyful journey of intimacy with my beloved Jesus Christ and a gift from God. I am a worshipper but I was very new to Worship Dance when I started the DFH school in January 2019. I was challenged, stretched, a discoverer of new sweet treasures, activated ,refreshed, encouraged, more passionate for Him, inspired, blessed and changed. I had to put some other things aside and some sacrifices during the schooling time to remain focus and not get behind on my assignments but stay on top of them and in all that was required. But I enjoyed every single moment. I gained, learned, grew and experienced so much and it was ALL worthy because HE IS WORTHY!. One of the most fantastic experiences was that I learned biblical perspective and learned to hear God's heart through the Art of Dancing For Him Ministry taught by the most incredible extraordinary woman of faith that is Pastor Lynn Hayden with incredible teaching, dancing, coaching and people skills and still remaining humble, fun, generous, unselfish and passionate for Him. Purchasing her teaching videos, books, going to the DFH conferences, workshops have been a lifetime investment that I will treasure and share with others. I appreciate very much my AP (Accountability Partner) Pamela Dimry for her unconditional love, her sharing and teaching and for giving me her great wise advice and tips before and after starting the DFH school. She is a wonderful cogitable woman of God. I thank God for chosen her to be part of my life. I look forward to attend more DFH Conferences and Workshops in the future especially in Florida with Pamela and friends and my new DFH family and to continue Dancing for Him to share God's heart to the heart of the people. My desires are God's desires in His word that Goodness, Love, Mercy, and Blessings will follow me all the days of my life and that I may dwell in the House of The Lord Forever and Ever.

    Dancing for Him Ministries is truly a Godsend for me! The teaching in this ministry has helped me discover how I can best express myself in the way I feel, think and believe when it comes to my relationship with God. 
    The artist inside of me has been found!! This course work has inspired me, stretched me, and motivated me and has brought me to new levels of relationships with God and with other people which is deep, rich, lasting and priceless! 
    I came into this course work with a passion to learn more about what the Bible has to say about dance, worship, creativity and sharing the Gospel in motion as well as to begin to develop dance language skills. And this is exactly what I have accomplished in Level 1! 
    Pastor Lynn Hayden does a superb job of teaching. Her leadership skills are exceptional and her love for God is incredibly contagious! I absolutely look forward to Level 2! 
    This is an excellent teaching ministry. I highly recommend you join our family at Dancing For Him Ministries.

    I can't say enough good things about the Dancing for Him Online School. Taking this cource has been a challenge and rewarding for me this year. I'm so thankful to Pastor Lynn for providing a way for those who are called to dance to gain knowledge, insight and spiritual growth, while learning dance techniques, dance concepts and so much more. The books and DVDs are all done in excellence and make learning easy. The support and encouragement you get from your fellow classmates keeps you going when times get hard and you want to give up and quit. This dance study course has taking me out of my comfort zone and stretched me in so many ways and I'm so grateful for it. It has helped me to be a better dance leader at my local church and I'm looking forward to moving on to level 2. I recommend this school to anyone looking for a place where you can truly learn how to express the father's heart in excellence through dance.

    Level 1 Final Evaluation Course...

    I remember how excited I was when i attended my first DFH conference i was like Wow! The atmosphere was Beautiful everyone worshiping through artistic ministry i felt like i found my place. I felt the Holy Spirit nudging me to sign on and at the same token the feeling of inadequacy kicked in and I was afraid. Long story short I walked out of there with the whole package LOL. And here I am today to tell you that DFH On line course is Amazing! I‘ve gain so much knowledge from biblical Scriptures that pertain to movements and what it means to minister through dance for the Kingdom of God. I have learned to allow God to use me as a vessel and to express His heart, to touch a heart through a vocabulary of expressions. Also, not only did I learned to move gracefully , I learned many concepts that I can utilize to create choreography, Do’s & Don’ts, Discipline, Team Unity and more. DFH Ministries has allowed me to be free to express myself feeling more confident. I assure you there is a great support group you will not feel alone. Pastor Lynn is so anointed in teachings. They are made simple follow and are for all stages beginners and experienced, she has so much to offer in her course and I highly recommend DFH Ministries. I thank God for leading me in this path I have grown so much throughout the course and I am looking forward to Level 2! Thank you Pastor Lynn for being obedient to the call of God by mentoring and leading others in the right way. I pray your ministry continue to flourish as you continue to teach what the Lord has imparted to you.

    I believe very strongly that we should be excellent in all that what do, especially when it comes to serving God and His people. Dancing for Him has provided the Christian dance community with excellent products and conferences to do just that for many, many years. When I accepted the call to dance ministry as a leader in 2013 I began to take classes with another Christian dance ministry, but I wanted to be diverse in my training and affiliations so I decided to complete my dance teacher training with Lynn Hayden. This has been a wonderfully challenging journey filled with self-discovery and equipping opportunities that will not be soon forgotten. During our monthly chats I’ve gotten to know so many wonderful men and women with calls similar to my own, and the fact that Pastor Lynn was present on every chat was priceless and appreciated.

    Wow what a wonderful course Dancing For Him has been for me! I came into this course really nervous having no dance experience or flexibility or normal, stigmatic body type. I felt called by the Lord to flag and this was a great course that incorporated both dance and flag worship to the Lord. I really found the whole course to be greatly put together and the DVD and books flowed wonderfully from one the next. I loved how the Spirit was able to show up in the place that I was watching or working when I was encaged in the process of watching and putting the methods into practice. I love how even though I have a sign base, going through a Sign Language Interpreting program, that I was able to, overtime, let go of strict signs positions and to let God use the knowledge to grow my movements into a larger more artistic method. I still have a lot to learn and look forward to moving on to level 2, so that I can continue the process and growth that I have experienced over this last year. I have realized that God can use me and is more than willing to show me dance moves and how to put the dance pieces together, through visions or just by telling me. I have been blessed and look forward to more of the move of the Spirit and what God is going to do in and through me.

    I watched and read several testimonials before making the 'jump' to register for the online training school. I was mainly interested in getting credentialed in worship dance; but I wasn't sure how much new information I would gain since I had already been doing worship dance for 14 years. I also was a dance leader for most of those years. WOW! Was I wrong! I got SOOOO much more out of this course than I expected. The nuggets of wisdom and encouragement from Lynn Hayden, who has been dancing for over 50 years; the team leadership principles taught; the variety of choreography techniques, movement and concepts shown; and the solid scriptural foundation and understanding about worship/praise dance all really opened my eyes to wiser ways of leading a group, creating fresh choreography and getting a better knowledge biblically about dancing for the Lord. Because of this course, my choreography skills and dance ministry has blossomed tremendously this year! And as an added bonus, I got proficient at doing mini-instructional videos and more computer savvy! If you love dancing for God and desire to do more for Him in this area, then this is the place to get solid, biblical, anointed teaching to dance for Him!

    What a blessing DFH Level 1 School year has been for me. I was looking on the internet trying to find a dance school that was local and beneficial for me and I came across DFH Online School. I email Pastor Lynn and she called me right back. I did not expect Pastor Lynn to call me back. I thought it was going to be one of her staff. This really blessed my heart. It showed me the love and passion she have for her students. Thank God and Pastor Lynn for allowing me to be a part of this amazing challenging journey!!! As being a first time dancer I have learned so much from the online course. Pastor Lynn’s teaching will provoke you to want to research, study and learn the materials for your assignments. Plus this will help you so much if you’re in leadership or a dancer. I love how in every book or DVD Pastor Lynn is so creative, not only that she helps you in building up your confidence, to grow spiritually, and learn biblically what God says about dancing for Him. There is so much positive support and encouragement from Pastor Lynn and her DFH staff. I would like to encourage you on stepping out of the box and allowing Pastor Lynn Hayden and her DFH staff to pour into you the proper ways of dancing for God. May God continue to bless you and your ministry!!

If you are in a leadership role at your church or in a separate ministry, I strongly suggest that you attend DFH to be able to learn more, so that you can teach more. DFH is great for those that have a hectic schedule at work or within their own ministries because the deadline is different than most schools. DFH would challenge anyone with a hunger to continue to search more for meat and not milk!

    Wow! I cannot believe that we are at the end of this journey about to embark on another season of life. I’m grateful to God for giving me the privilege of being a part of Pastor Lynn’s Dancing For Him ministries online school. This ministry has the ability to bring forth growth naturally and more importantly spiritual growth that will provide any dancer the opportunity to be an effective minister before our heavenly Father and to His people through ministering the gospel of Christ Jesus—that healing and deliverance will take place by the moving of the Holy Spirit.

    When I signed up for Dancing for Him online school, I was overwhelmed and discouraged because technology is not something that I freely embrace. I was in tears one night and almost gave up but I heard in my spirit, don’t give up. I’m so glad I didn’t. I found out even though it’s an intense program, there is a rhythm to accomplishing the assignments and once you master that flow, it’s not bad at all.

    When I was appointed as leader of the dance ministry at Light and Life West in 2017, I knew that I needed to refresh my knowledge of dance as a ministry. Although I have formal training and education in dance and theatre, and have attended several workshops, wonderful conferences and classes over time including one given by Dancing for Him, it was time to go back to the basics and look at the information in a different way. There are many certification programs being offered, but I was seeking a specific program that blended academic and Biblical principles while allowing me to maintain my creative identity and individuality. DFH offered all of this, along with books and DVDs containing plenty of useful information that I can always use for reference as well as share with the dancers I work with now, and in the future. I was also drawn to Pastor Lynn’s warm spirit and sense of humor that she always exhibits. And, I will never forget the powerful demonstration of her ministry I witnessed in the Bahamas when I was new to the dance ministry.
    The group that I lead was very interested in the concepts I presented to them, and what I learned in the different modules made a difference in the way our creative process developed. Contrary to what I believed, there is more than one way that choreography evolves, and just because God revealed a particular dance to me in a short time, doesn’t mean that the next one will be shown the same way even though the inspiration comes from Him. In acting there is a phrase called “Take a bigger risk”, and Pastor Lynn’s respect for the academic process encouraged me to trust what I see, as well as push our dance ministry, A.C.T.S. of Grace out of their comfort zone. They began to give input into choreography and trust their spiritual instincts that they didn’t know that The Holy Spirit could give them. We look totally different now than we did when I started the class, and are continuing to grow and be more open to express the Good News of Christ in whatever way He directs.
    I’m glad that I made the investment of time and finances to go through this course, and will continue to utilize the knowledge I have acquired through DFH. Thank you!

    Dancing for him Level 1 enhanced my relationship with God. I was able to learn more about worship and the role of dancing in the worship service. I am very pleased with the program and were I am in God. The activations and lessons were easy to understand. The choreography was beautiful and anointed. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to dance and why we dance. Ballet, modern dance, and Pilates are a few of the technical topics. Billow cloths, banners and flags are the main props discussed in this course. I found myself encouraged by the instructor, Pastor Lynn Hayden, to keep working and trying the activations. She even utilized modifications for beginners. This is the most positive educational and spiritual training program I have ever taken part in. I will be continuing to level 2.

    I had been praying about finding a praise and worship dance class/school. Then I got on the computer and discovered the Dancing For Him ministry. Wow, was I excited! It was so fascinating and low and behold a conference was available in my city. It was exhilarating. I learned so much in a two day workshop. Things I didn't know existed were taught. I really didn't know that billow cloths existed, along with veils and flags for worship dance. I also didn't know that prophetic dance existed!! And there I was at a conference with worshippers prophetically dancing over me. It was so wonderful being in a room with so many worship dancers. The presence of God was awesome there. And there was Pastor Lynn Hayden in the front of the room so friendly, kind, loving, peaceful and and joyous. It was so obvious that she loves what she does. This anointed woman of God with almost 50 years of dancing experience and about half of those dancing unto the Lord.
    When Pastor Hayden mentioned her online Level 1 dance school and that the package of DVD's and books were on sale. I speedily bought the package. I knew in my heart I would partake in this ministry. There are no regrets. I have learned so much. I have learned from every one of her DVD's and there are over 30! And as I refer back to them I will learn even more. These are great reference guides for any worship dancer and dance leader. Pastor Lynn even has DVD's that teach dancers stretching exercises so as to prepare their bodies to dance. Her instructional books are also excellent resources. I would recommend this ministry to anyone that is serious about using their gift of dance. I was so blessed and will forever remember this year of my life. Oh I also add the wonderlful colleagues that I have met and have been a tremendous influence as well. What a blessing this has been.

    Final Course Evaluation—Written

    The Level I Dancing For Him Ministry Dance School far exceeded my expectations. I cried out to the Lord for a dance school where I can be properly taught and there would be a lot of time for the dance instructor to teach me. It’s amazing how the Lord far exceeded my expectations and gave me far above that. There are so many different dances and materials to choose from when developing a choreographed dance to choose. I really had no idea that so much went into preparing for a dance before the congregation. One has to think about the dancers involved, the environment, and the display of dances. There must be a lot of variety in order for the person or people watching to keep their interest in the dance. The prophetic dance stood out to me because I learned that it means to express the Father’s heart. This brought so much clarity to me that the definition changed my perspective in the way I view dance. What an amazing dance school!! Level II here I come!! When forming a team, the materials are already in place on how to properly handle situations that may arise and how to keep the dance team moving forward. God bless you Pastor Lynn for being a vessel that God can use to have developed this dance school. I’m truly a child of the King and blessed by God to have been directed to enroll in this dance school.

    This has truly been a learning experience! I never thought I would learn so much in 10 months. Pastor Lynn has developed a curriculum to enhance and develop your knowledge of Praise Dance Ministry. However, this curriculum is not only about executing movement, it also provides a study of the relationship of God’s word to dance movement. As a student enrolled in this curriculum, I received a very well rounded course of instruction in basic dance techniques, relationships with others in a dance ministry, the use of props and flags, choreography, and so much more! Thank you, Pastor Lynn, for developing this amazing course of study for Praise Dancers.

    Just a few months ago I was looking on the internet to find child size streamers and found the DFH Course. Without any dancing experience the Holy Spirit tugged at my heart strings and impressed upon my heart to enroll in the online course.
    I love to worship the Lord and wanted to learn about flag ministry. Well, that was only the tip of the iceberg compared to what has been covered in a few short months. I have learnt Ballet and Modern dance moves and improved my physical wellbeing with pilates and other exercises.
    Every month it was so exciting to watch new videos and read the books. It was like opening new Christmas gifts all year long. The online course was such a diversion from the stress of work and it was really fun to meet those with similar interests all over the world. They truly have become family.

Because my only dance experience has been during my devotional time, I enjoyed learning the many different dance movements; the Biblical meanings of colors for flags, billows, and streamers; the “do’s and don’ts” of worship dancing; and how to do worship dancing as a unified group.

    After attending the Dancing for Him Kalamazoo Conference in the fall of 2016, I felt led to enroll in the DFH online school. It was such a blessing to reconnect with Pastor Lynn after six long years. I have been involved in dance ministry since 2002, and I have been through many different seasons. Through it all, Pastor Lynn and Dancing for Him ministries has been used of the Lord as one of the constants to encourage and inspire me in my divine assignments. I have not led a team for nearly seven years. To honor all that God did in and through me as a worship dancer instilled in me a desire to honor Pastor Lynn by “sitting at her feet” during the season of “pause” in dance ministry (I won’t say rest because I’m a homeschool mom).

    Anything the Lord accomplished through me and the team I led prior to enrolling in the DFH Level 1 online school was done through the His grace – and the wise, gentle leading and inspiration of Pastor Lynn Hayden. When I had no idea the Lord any use for my nearly inexhaustible desire to dance to connect with Him – I was shown through my time attending DFH conferences, reading DFH books and watching DFH DVDs that not only was there power in worship dance, but that He had a purpose for me to learn, share and minister using the concepts Pastor Lynn imparts to His dancers.

    If you are called to lead or be part of a Dance Ministry, I cannot recommend Pastor Lynn’s online school enough. To make myself accountable to reading and digesting the Level 1 material has been a blessing and helped me really understand the basics in so much more detail. It has been so encouraging to hear from dancers from all over the world – to know that this is a real thing and that you are not alone in your desire to glorify God in this way was life changing. And it is very humbling to be used of the Lord to share revelations the Lord has given me about my assignments which caused others to be encouraged was a great gift as well. Attending a DFH conference as a servant was a high point. To see a small sliver behind the scenes the cost of the anointing is a sobering thing. I loved everything about digging in this past year to polish, refine and grow in my understanding of detailed choreography concepts. Each book and DVD was like meeting an old friend again, getting reacquainted and realizing the best is still there but appreciating them all the more after enduring lots of life’s challenges since the last time you met. I have no regrets about the time, money or sacrifice it took to undertake – it was worth it all.


    Thank you Lord for the DFH online school.

    Thank you Lord for Your grace to complete Level 1!

    Thank you Lord for Your daughter, Lynn Hayden, who is used by You so mightily to minister healing, deliverance and impartation.

    I initially wanted to sign-up for Level 1 back in 2015, but I talked myself out of doing so. Then I met up with Deborah Torres for dinner one evening in 2016, and she shared her experience in the DFH Online Training School (I believe she had recently completed Level 2) and encouraged me to register. I was still waffling as to whether or not I should register until I attended “The Battle Belongs to the Lord” conference later that year in Hackensack, NJ. During the conference I felt a very strong urging to register for Level 1, so I did that first day and boy, oh boy am I glad I did!!! Being a part of Level 1 has been an amazing experience!!! It’s allowed me to grow as both an individual worshipper and a dance leader. It’s broadened and deepened my knowledge and understanding of concepts and techniques that will make me more effective in ministry, whatever form it takes from here. And I have had the opportunity to build relationships that I know will continue to blossom and grow in the months and years ahead. Thank you so very much Pastor Lynn and the entire DFH family!!!!!!!

    Dancing for Him school has changed my life!
    After praying and waiting a year I was finally able to sign up for “Dancing for Him” Level 1 School. It’s amazing to me how quickly this year has passed. But even more astounding is all I have gleaned from this Christ centered, God glorifying and Holy Sprit lead worship and praise dance school! “Dancing for Him” school has changed my life and God knew it would. My growth in understanding why we praise and worship him physically and spiritually has truly been a blessing to me. From the beginning of the year, writing about myself & why I felt called to dance for him, to Ballet basics, Hebrew and Greek root word definitions, activations of movement for solo & team dance, leadership qualities, expressive sign language, do’s & dont’s, learning different genres of dance, movement vocabulary, flagging, processionals and the list keeps going… it all has benefited me! Oh, and learning about & dancing in the prophetic-that was a big blessing to me. I now have the tools in my tool box to choreograph, stay on count/time and lead a dance team with confidence keeping the focus on Christ. I also know I’m dancing with the right heart. I have learned floor patterns, directional movement, levels and so much technique I can’t even get it all in, I got it all & even more! Iv’e also gotten so much out of the Dancing for Him group-family. Worship dancers from all over the US and world, each with their own level of experience uniquely created with a common goal-to Glorify God! Everything that Pastor Lynn has experienced she shares & teaches from a biblical perspective with excellence and professional instruction. If you have the call to dance, you need to join this school. You will be amazed as you grow spiritually & in ability! John 4:23,24 But the hour is coming and Now is, when……

The conferences and course materials are brilliantly crafted with each assignment building and flowing into the next. Chock full of anointed tools for creativity and teaching. I have been renewed and activated with new life and dreams restored. And I really love the DFH people. I am so grateful. Thank you Pastor Lynn!

    I am sooo excited! Completely the course was at first a challenge due to all the health concerns I was facing, but Pastor Lynn was soo encouraging though it all and really helped me on my path to success! The teachings and readings were so impactful for me and really pushed me outside of my comfort zone. I was able to grow so much spiritually and definitely in the area of dance. I learned a lot more than expected, and I am so excited to take what I have learned to others. I am beyond grateful towards Pastor Lynn, and inspired greatly by this program she has put together. This journey has been an enjoyable one!

    I have written a list of words to describe my experience with DFH Ministries. Here is the list: inspirational, eye opening, challenging, reassuring, encouraging, supportive and blessed. Now I will share a little about each word. After looking at the videos and reading the books I was inspired to, more than ever, reach others thru the ministry of dance. This course was eye opening because it enabled me to see God’s attitude toward dance which is positive. It was challenging for me because I had to work on my organizational skills especially time management. These words I will group together; supportive, reassuring and encouraging. This ministry provides you with an accountability partner immediately. This person is there for you. When your post your videos on Facebook you are given positive feedback by many of your classmates and Pastor Lynn herself. There are video conference calls where you are in direct contact with others in your class. It is lead by Pastor Lynn. Finally, I was blessed. I felt God’s touch. This was a wonderful experience and I plan to sign up for level 2.

    It is an amazing journey! I went to my first conference in June 2016 and brought a friend with me. I told her I think this is for me. I began the classes this year, which turned out to be a one of the hardest years of my life physically and emotionally. I received so much prayer and support from my Dancing for Him family. I also was blessed with a great Accountability Partner who was there to support and encourage. There is true love flowing through this ministry. I have grown so much in the last year. I have learned things about dance that I didn’t even know existed. I was stretched, physically, spiritually and figuratively. I have some physical disabilities but God has helped my body. Pastor Lynn usually shows you a modified exercise or movement that you can do. I have learned so much from Pastor Lynn. She is an amazing teacher and minister. The conferences and the school are anointed. I have seen people set free. I have been set free. Free to dance, flag, use sign language and express the Father’s heart in a way I never dreamed possible. The Dancing for Him school is a blessing for those who want to learn to express the heart of God in new and creative ways. I can hardly wait for my second year.

    Extraordinarily Blessed! After a lifetime of not fitting in I’ve finally found a Place. A home and a place I was destined to be. DFH Ministries is my new beginning. A place where I was rebirthed. Restored! Level One has been such a Life Changing experience. It has taught me so much about myself, my relationship with the Lord, and helped me to believe in myself and the call that God has placed upon my life. The training and impartation from Pastor Lynn and her own experiences is exceptional. Thank You Pastor Lynn. I feel more complete today than I ever have. I can’t wait to see where God takes me in Level II.

On january of 2017 i joined level 1 even though i was feeling a little apprehensive thinking that due to family and work i wouldn't be able to do it but by the Lord's grace and guidance i just finished my first year and can't wait to start level 2 . Pastor Lynn's teaching and leading is of a true minister who reveals Father's heart and will for his children. I have grown so much spiritually and in confidence knowing where i fit in the body of Christ with my gifts .Pastor Lynn is such a blessing to us all for she's not only raising dancers but competent ministers to expand the kingdom of God to all the nations through the arts.

    What an amazing journey this has been so far. I was very new to dance when I started the school. I know that I have learned much and grown in both my knowledge and skills in worship dancing. I have also started a much deeper relationship with our Creator. I never knew that there was so much in the world of worship dance. I am so thankful for Pastor Lynn and the whole Dancing For Him Family. The course will stretch you in ways that will make you not only a better dancer but a better person. If you are an experienced dancer this course will help you grow. If you are new to dance like I was this will be life changing. I have received conformation after conformation that this is what I’m supposed to be doing. This what I was created for – to dance for my Creator – and share this gifting with others. I would recommend this school to anyone who is already involved with worship dancing or is new to the dance. I can not say enough about the love and support that Pastor Lynn and the Dancing For Him Family have shown me. I firmly believe even if you are remotely interested in worship dancing to look here a little deeper. I am blessed and very happy to call Dancing for Him Ministries my home and family!!!!

    Final Evaluation – Level 1

    The lyrics from several gospel singers including the late Bishop Patterson, Juanita Bynum, and Christopher Brinson sing …..I got just what I wanted, I got just what I wanted, I got just what I wanted from the Lord…. Upon completing DFH Level 1, I can say I got just what I needed, I got just what I need….. from DFH.
    Initially, I was looking for a school that would help me improve my skills, abilities, technique, knowledge and vocabulary base, build my confidence, learn the moves and to grow spiritually, so that I can effectively minister the heart of the Father to His people.
    That was accomplished several ways: First, by attending one the powerful, anointing, spirit-filled, bible base worship dance conference. During the conference, the dancers or participants minister, train and activate others so they will be effective artistic and prophetic dancers. Secondly, by reading and studying the variety of worship dance, praise dance and prophetic dance books and DVDs. The books and DVDs can be used as references. Thirdly, by attending bimonthly chats. They were so informative, helpful and insightful. There were relationships developed, fellowship and support as a result of attending, listening or participating on the chats and during the conferences.
    This has been an amazingly, awesome journey and one of growth and continuous growth. It has been a year of learning choreography and dance techniques, enhancing movement vocabulary, and building confidence.
    I highly recommend DFH Ministries to those dancers that are interested in being more creative, learning new ideas, improving dance concepts, and/or vocublary movement.
    My prayer is “May God continue to richly bless Pastor Lynn and Dancing For Him Ministries”.

    I absolutely can't believe it has come to a close of this school year already. In the beginning, it almost felt impossible with to do and keep up, especially with all that was going on but with the support and encouragements from fellow dance students, it was worth it all. I must say I/we have made it as we close out the dance year. It was an absolute pleasure to be apart of this dance school and I couldn't say other wise. I would recommend anytime. The presents of the lord oh so flow at the conference and throughout the course. Peace rained, joy rained, love rained, tears rained and many more. Absolutely beautiful.

    I am so glad I took the second year of DFH. It has taught me so much! I never expected to learn what I did until I took the second year. Each year is definitely its own. I have learned how to do activation from Wesley Scott Amos, but really all the credit goes to Jesus. I could not have done any of this without Him! I have learned to listen to His voice so much more than I did the previous years. And If I didn’t get a direction, I kept seeking Him! It is so much easier for God to use us if we would stop worrying and just be still. If you are debating on taking the second year, I would encourage you to take the leap of faith and go for it. You will not regret it. I am so blessed to be able to do this during this season in my life and you will too.

This wonderful school has an awesome program that the Lord has used this year to train me to be better for His glory. I love to worship my Lord and lover, King Jesus. This school has amazing tools to train you in three very important areas as a worship dancer: spiritually, physically and in the Word of God. This course has a balance in teaching dance foundation from God’s Word, technique that you can implement in your dance for the Lord to enhance your movements and in the things of the Spirit to infuse you with passion in your heart. This school will transform your worship dance life. Pastor Lynn is an amazing leader with a beautiful heart of passion for the Lord Jesus and an excellent worship dancer with extensive experience in the area of dancing.

    Of all the benefits I have gained from the DFH Level 2 school, the most valuable is a greater infilling of the Spirit's creative, life-giving force and energy in ministry. As each assignment was completed I could only worship the Lord in wondrous gratitude. I had to put some other things aside during this time to remain focused...but I really have the sense that I have run a race, and kept my eyes on the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

    Final Evaluation Review

    One word to describe this experience AMAZING... wouldn't trade it for anything in the world I've gained so much, learn so much, experience so much through DFH school!!! I thank God for Pastor Lynn, for this journey, the sweet treasures that I've gained that no one can take away! I also thank God for the Sisterhood I gained that no one can take away the special family that I've gained. I appreciate the my AP (accountability partner) KATELIN that check on me and encouraged me throughout the year! From the techniques to the learning how to be a true worshipper the scriptural blessings and the teaching that I learned about dance, is just amazing. And if you are a person like me... when I was first signing up for the DFH school I was doubting and questioning and wondering if I was called, I was struggling to be a leader, to step out and go forth, this experience changed all of that! So for anyone struggling in these areas this is definitely the school for you, definitely a journey that you won't regret! A must take, a great investment! It revived me, refreshed me, encouraged me and inspired me! The in-depth teachings got my creative juices flowing again where choreography is concerned and made me want to press and go forth in what God has called me to do. The teaching on being a leader, even learning how to be a team player, a team-builder working together as a team for the common goal which is to please God and break yokes...it is just been great in one word AMAZING. An experience of a lifetime and I have no regrets even through my own personal ups and downs, the trials, the test throughout this entire year working 2 jobs heavily involved in Ministry, school or just life and family I still don't regret signing up for this school, sticking it out of course with the help and the grace and the mercy of God I made it! I encourage anybody to join, especially if you're serious about dancing, if your called to dance for HIM or if you just simply have any questions about dance ministry. If you love knowledge look no further! This has been again a Journey I wouldn't trade for anything in the world and again and again I would encourage anybody to sign up for DHF School you/ I gained much more than dance!! Praise God....AMAZING?

    These past two years have been amazing in my life. I thank God for leading me to the DFH school. I have learned so much information that has helped me grow spiritually and made me closer to God. I would urge those who would like to start a dance ministry in either their church or community, to join DFH School and they will not regret. For the ladies in Level I, if you are debating whether to take Level II or not, my advice is take it. Level II will stretch you both physically and spiritually. You will learn great concepts in level II that will help you grow your dance ministry , will teach you how to handle critism from team members, congregation or clergy. By the end of Level II you will be closer to your God than Before.
    I thank pastor Lynn for her encouraging words, My AP Lolita, you are the best, you always picked me up when I felt low and to my fellow students, thank you for all your beautiful smiles and comments. You kept me rolling ladies!!

    Essay 25: Course Evaluation
    This course has truly been a challenge for me but I sure don’t regret it. I recommend it to anyone hungry and thirsty to please and worship our God our Creator our Abba our EVERYTHING through dance. Yes, I’ve been a dance leader for over 5 years but little did I know. This course helped me evaluate myself where I was standing as a daughter of God. I had some knowledge of what dance was in God But in this course, it taught me in a deeper depth and profound way. Yet I still have much to learn and put in practice, but can sure say this course has impacted me. This course took me to become more creative and learn how to listen to the voice of God (I’m still in process). The Holy spirit ministered me through the videos and through the book including the conference I attended in an unexpected way. Conference by the way was powerful haven’t experience or seen the Holy Spirit minister without the laying hands. I mean yes I’ve seen it but in the conference, was different hard to explain. It’s beautiful how He works in the way that we least expect it. Throughout this course I was extremely attack by the enemy that at times took me of course, distracted me for he wanted to steal my blessing that was imparted to me through this course. For if you want to grow in God be guided by the Holy Spirit Hungry and thirsty for more, I highly recommend this course.

    Dancing For Him Course is so awesome for all dancers!! This course was right on time in my life and was very exciting as I learned the creative movement of God thru my body and how it helps the body of Christ! Pastor Lynn Hayden is the best instructor and all the classes are very easy to understand and learn but you do gain a lot of knowledge, vocabulary, and information and also she challenges you to truly be used as a chosen called dancer of The Lord. You meet new people and they become your motivating circle of love.
    This course strengthens you! You become stronger in your relationship with God, stronger in working on a team, stronger physically for the call, stronger mentally to handle the revelation of God, stronger in hearing the voice of God, stronger in choreography, & stronger in understanding the wisdom of the call as a dancer! I recommend it to all and it truly helped my call!!

    I wrestled for months before deciding to take this course and now I know why because in the spiritual realm was a battle going on and through Level 1 DFH course, there's victory! If my heart is not intimately connected to Jesus, it is so hard to move my body through dance. So, to be connected with students all over the world with one heart to worship Jesus is transforming. I mot only learned the basics of dance, but the best are the principles in the Bible that no one seems to teach how movement is so powerful in conjunction to worship and Praise. My heart overflows with gratitude for the things God taught me in these 10 months and the sisters I otherwise would never be connected to. Sole de Gloria.

    Level One Course Evaluation

    The Dancing For Him (DFM) Ministries, Level One on line dance course has been amazing! I really didn’t know what to expect. I just knew I was in search of something more that I could offer when dancing for the Lord. Praise God!! I received much more than that! There was a kinship that developed with other spirit filled dancers around the world. We shared with one another in openness and love. I learned more ways of expressing worship and praise movement through my body, flags and banners. More importantly, I am learning to express God’s heart for His people through word, song and dance.

    In the beginning I wasn’t even sure how I would get the assignments completed. It was through the grace of God, and all of those involved in the school, that pushed me forward. Thank you Jesus!!

    I have always loved to dance and it is pure joy to dance for the Lord and be a blessing through movement. I joined the DFM Ministries School because it gave me an opportunity to work on my technique. As I got into the assignments, I found that it also provided a consistent dance curriculum that was easy to follow. All of the books and DVDs that were written and/or led by Pastor Lynn, that were assigned and studied, helped me to stretch and strengthen my faith and my desire to dance and teach. All of these resources are there for me to go back and grab at any time, which I WILL!!

    The spirit of Pastor Lynn Hayden and my Accountability Partner, Jeanine Durning was very inspirational, gracious, and kind. The other dance students at all levels, including alumni, were very encouraging to me and to one another. This type of interaction provided an environment that allowed growth and inspired excellence. Another thing that I liked was that Pastor Lynn didn’t mind sharing her experiences and her thoughts about dancing for God and the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit.

    I also attended a DFH dance conference in Idaho Falls, Idaho in June and there was a magnificent presence of the Holy Spirit during the whole conference. I am making plans for Level TWO and praying about what conferences I will have the opportunity to attend next year! The entire year was a marvelous experience and I look forward to 2017.

    Wow, there is not enough words to express what this course has done in my life. Being a Level 2 student has been a year of TRANSFORMATION. Level 1 taught me the basics but Level 2 takes you to another level. It has been a challenging year and it has stretched me. The DVD’s, books, and the worshipping bride and Pillars of Leadership books are amazing. You will grow spiritually, and it will bring you closer to God. You will have a better understanding of what it means to be a dance minister for the Lord. I learned so much more about expressing the Father’s heart through dance movements and interpreting his word through those movements. Pastor Lynn is an amazing woman of God, an anointed teacher and a dancer. I am so blessed to know her and to be taught by her. What I love about this school is that you are not alone. You will have a mentor that prays for you and other fellow students that are there to support you. You will also be assigned a mentee. I want to thank my mentor Patricia Witherspoon Dyer for praying for me, encouraging me, and lifting me up throughout these two years. I highly recommend those who are in Level 1 to consider to go on to level 2 because there is so much more to learn. Pastor Lynn has developed an extensive curriculum for Level 2 that you will be amazed at all the information that you will learn. You will learn more technique at a higher level and you will grow spiritually. I want to encourage you to continue with the journey that God has set out for you. Thank you Pastor Lynn and God bless you!!!

    This is the best school year experience I ever had. The way I got into DFH Level 1 School first of all was a miracle from God because I never thought I would of got in this year. If it wasn`t for God who put the desire in different people heart to sow into my ministry, I wouldn`t have this amazing blessing to be thought by Pastor Lynn Hayden and embrace her knowledge and skills set. I have grown so much not only in the ministry but personally. My dance skills are in another level with God. My vocabulary is rich regarding the the term I should use and knowing where and when to use the dance patterns. The vision that God has for me in the ministry is much clearer than before. I can really say that I am grateful to have Pastor Lynn as my mentor. She`s a true woman of God who is attentive to others needs in order to see them succeed. I am honour that I learned from the best hands down. II highly recommend the DFH Level 1 School for those seeking a deeper revelation and another level in Christian dance. This school had help me grow to be what I was made to be as a Christian dancer, Praise and Worshipper... Because of DFH Level 1 School I couldn`t never be put in a box. I`ve learn to take this world by storm by the grace of God!

    There are not enough words to express my gratitude for how much Dancing For Him Level 1 School has meant to me over the past year. The vision that God has given Pastor Lynn to develop, equip, and activate others to minister to the Lord through dance, movement, and prophetic worship is a life-transforming experience for all who "step in the waters." You'll meet worship dancers from around the world, make new friends, and develop your dance vocabulary and choreography. The teaching is balanced and scripturally based making it easy to follow. This course pulls the best out of you and cultivates your heart to move deeper into your relationship with the Lord and then, out of the overflow, minister the heart of God to others. The regimen of having assignments to do weekly is one of the disciplines that you will enjoy while providing accountability and cultivating a greater heart in you to dance for the Lord.

    Dear you, dear student to be,

    I am a graduate of Dancing For Him Level 1. I am living in Montréal, Canada, and I also speak French. I just to let you know, that this year in Level 1 is going to be one of the best of your life, really.

    Why?
    Because if you want to be a better dance worshiper, if you want to adore, praise, worship God through dance, if you want to be a dance minister, dance leader, liturgical dance teacher… YOU ARE AT THE RIGHT PLACE!

    This program will amaze you. You are so many great resources like: books, dvds, conferences… BUT, you will not be NEVER alone (even if you are in China or in another country), you will be a part a strong and blessed community of sisters and brothers in Christ like you. I love the fact that this community is worldwide. I met so many new friends for life there. You will have live chat (it’s amazing).

    This program is balanced so well, it will guide, lead, equip you with the Lord through dance ministry. It’s not a program, It’s a life changing, it’s God’s calling for you. So come on and meet us to the next session.

    With love, hug and blessings.

    Do you feel drawn to dance for the Lord? Don't know what to do or where to begin. Then this course would be a valuable resource for you. You will learn so much about worship dance and ministering before the Lord in dance. So many different styles of dance are taught. Some of which are Ballet, Stretch and Adoration, Sign Language and there are many others. You will learn so many techniques that will enhance and grow you in your dance ministry and also in your relationship and walk with the Lord. It would be a very wise investment to make. I know that it has helped me to grow deeper in my calling to dance for the Lord and also my relationship with the Lord. I am thankful for the vast array of knowledge that has been instilled in us through this course. I look forward to using everything that I have learned in dances and ministry pieces that I will bring to the body of Christ to minister the heart of the Father to His children.

    My two years in the DFH school has been very rich. In my first year, I feel that I received an in depth foundation for movement in worship as I studied the word, practiced the technique videos, and enjoyed the hands on experience of the conferences. Then the second year built on this foundation in a wonderful way. Through the weekly assignments I learnt how to take the mental knowledge of what I learnt and unleash creativity in the form of activations to make it experiential. We know that God is good, but feel that people need to experience His presence. I love to see others be released into joy and freedom and feel that this course has given me some wonderful tools to nurture this and also to draw out creative gifting in them.

    I give God all the glory honer and the praise for allowing me to partake in this ministry. It has been an experience of illumination of my heart towards God and his love towards me. I came into the ministry excited and so ready to be used by God. I knew I had a passion to dance before the lord and a desire to share that passion and a will to be used by God to inspire others with the love of God moving in me. I honestly did not know the debth of being a dance leader never mind a minister and the teaching I recieved through this course has birthed it in me. Participating in this ministry has developed my mindset and helped me grow as an individual as well as a dance ministry leader. It has taught me so much about who I am and who's I am so I can lead and inspire others through dance. The course was broken into parts that lined me up in the word in my life first and then all the rest of me followed. The course objectives were easy to follow once I got passed the few month only because I was not computer "fancy". I learnt so much about social media and how to make my way around using the computer and I believe my typing skills got faster...LOL Do I think I know it all? No but do I believe I can lead? Yes! 100%! Why? Because I now have the tools to apply and a family I can go to, to iron sharpen iron when it comes to full filling the call of God in me to inspire other through dance. The course has encouraged me, equipped me and empowered me to follow the leading of the holy spirit in me. I can now be confident in knowing the voice of God, I can also see God on another level to minister the heart of God and I can hear God (discern). I would tell anyone who believes God is pouring out his spirit in them to express their heart & love for God through dance to take the challenge and be challenged to full fill the call of God on their lives and join the DFH Ministry family and know God has them right where he wants them.
    Many blessings to you all

    If you need direction on how to teach your dance team or to teach yourself why and how to worship/praise dance this is for you! That is exactly why I joined! I have been worship/praising the Lord for years, but when the Lord put in my heart to teach it, I couldn’t explain what my movements meant. That’s when I came across Pastor Lynn School of DFH. It was just right! The Lord opened all the doors for me to be able to do it. I even homeschool my two girls and I have time to do the DFH schoolwork. This school really helped me! I used the curriculum to go right along with my dance team. It has made it much more structured and organized for me to teach! I learned so much! It has even helped me to do a better when doing my uploads as I don’t like taping myself. Yikes. This school will stretch you. You will find your weakness in dance and your strengths as well, and that is ok! If you allow the Lord to stretch you, you will grow in dance ministry! It was truly a blessing this school! And I gained a family out of it! I couldn’t imagine life without my Dancing For Him ladies!

    To say that this was a fantastic year of dance instruction is really an understatement. I absolutely loved it. This Level I course has taught me so much about dance and worship and the Lord Himself that I’m still trying to take it all in. When I started this class, I had no experience in worship dance at all, but I knew that was what God had called me to do. Now, it’s really hard to not move and break out in dance when I hear a song. This course has taught me more about choreography, sign language, flags and billows, and fitness in general than I ever thought I could learn in these short months. Every book and DVD has been a huge blessing, every assignment has been a joy to complete, and the fellowship with others has been amazing. I can’t wait to learn more in Level II. Thank you Pastor Lynn for an amazing year!

    FINAL COURSE EVALUATION - LEVEL 2 DFH

    Being involved with Dancing for Him has changed my life. It was the best decision I have made to go

    farther in my walk with God and my calling to be a Dance Minister.

    Pastor Lynn has the class structured so that you not only grow in your skill in dance, you are also

    learning from the word and how it applies to you. The second level takes you even deeper still.

    Somehow God brings you up to a life of confidence, but then at the same time you are humbled and

    learn how to walk in humility.

    The support system of other sisters in the Lord are going through the same thing you are.

    God provides answers to your questions through the wisdom of Pastor Lynn and other participants in the

    class. I couldn't have done it without my sisters in Dancing for Him!!!!!!

    Their encouragement in every lesson helped me to push through to the end!!!! My family was patient

    and helped me to balance my time with ministry and time with them.

    Pastor Lynn was very faithful to always answer questions that we might have. Most awesome lady -

    wise - patient - kind- but firm and very knowledgeable in her field. Always encouraging us to press

    forward!!!!!

    Thank you so much!!!!!

    Level 1 Evaluation
    My desire to become a student of Dancing for Him Ministries began after attending a DFH graduation conference. I admired how the students could move and flow with the Holy Spirit. As a proficient flagger with no prior dance experience, it was at that conference that I first heard the Holy Spirit call me a “Dancer who dances with flags.” By that time, the enrollment deadline for the online school had already passed. During the following year, I began to see myself as a dancer. But, it wasn’t until my first year as a DFH student that I truly believed that I am a dancer! Now, even the ministerial leadership at our church call me “one of the dancers!” Pastor Lynn’s teaching materials are thorough and give a solid scriptural understanding of dancing for the Lord. They cover topics such as dance technique and conditioning, the use of props and costumes, choreography ideas and design, dance team leadership, and the biblical foundation for the different uses of movement in worship. The course was well designed and assignments were easy to follow with clear expectations setting out specific tasks to be completed each week and month. My accountability partner offered prayer and encouragement along the way. I am amazed at how the assignments stretched me past my comfort zone by applying what I had learned and allowing me to take new territory. Time and time again, I was able to draw strength from the scripture contained in the materials I was studying. My movement vocabulary, creativity and understanding of the use of props has expanded profoundly and I have confidence in my ability to dance and move without flags in my expression of worship to the Lord. My identity is now as a “Dancer for Him.” I am forever changed!

    Where do I begin? First thank you God for gifting Pastor Lynn and directing her path into creating Dancing for Him Ministries School. She has truly been an inspiration in my life. We managed to cover so much material in such a short period of time (at least that’s what it felt like to me). But all that we learned really helped to build the foundation for us to either move on to level 2, or to begin to operate in our gifts. There was so much I didn’t know like the Expressive Worship words, the areas of a stage, types of movement, and the correct way to run a rehearsal, okay so there was A LOT that I didn’t know. But, I realized there was a lot that God had already blessed me with and that I really needed the guidance and encouragement from Dancing for Him.
    Through the guidance from the school and Pastor Lynn, I have so much more confidence in my gift than ever before. I worship so much more freely now. The other reason is because after I had a hysterectomy, I literally gained the weight of a 9 year old. This kept me from being able to dance for over a year without having an asthma attack. Yet, I was still able to complete my assignments because of the way the program was structured. To God Be the Glory. I was able to minister 2 weeks ago and I was able to apply many of the things I had learned to the dance. I felt like God was looking down on me with a huge smile on his face. Would I recommend this program? The answer is yes but only if you really desire to take your ministry to the next level and ready to work hard in the process. Was the program easy? Nope. But it will be so worth it. Thank you to my AP, Tanya Perez for always answering my many questions with a smile and to Sister Renee Gagnon for taking on the huge task of keeping us all accountable and up to date. Level 2, here I come.

The last ten months have been amazing, oh my, I have learned so much about the dance ministry and ministering the heart of the Father to his people. The wealth of knowledge contained in course work or the curriculum is out of this world. I would recommend it to anyone who desires to be used of God through the dance ministry. The course is of college level but Pastor Lynn has laid it down so well such that anybody willing to learn can understand the materials and equip themselves for the ministry. The uploads, essays and all the assignments will motivate you to give your best for the Lord. It has been a great course and I'm looking forward for second level next year.

After a life transforming experience at one of the retreats, I knew I needed to be apart in a greater way. I wanted to help others have encounters like I had had and continued to have as I attended more retreats and conferences. And I wanted to be with and learn from others who longed for the same. So I joined Level 1 and WOW! Not only have I learned so much from Pastor Lynn (thank you Pastor Lynn for your love and encouragement)and the students, I have learned so much about myself! This year has stretched and challenged me to step outside the box I had put myself in as a dancer for Him and BELIEVE..... and then receive! Thank you to all the wonderful students in this school!!

    Level 1 DFH has been a learning experience on many levels. As the course laid a foundation for dance ministry, I experienced a deeper understanding and excitement of what God is doing in the area of the arts. Dance is just one of the arts where you see that visual expression of who God is and experience how much He cares about us. Through the discipline of getting the assignments handed in on time and the guidance on how to teach, it’s a wonderful leadership training. I loved the technique videos which helped to learn the basics on ballet and modern dance, and the many examples and tools to expand creativity. I have so much more to give when I teach.

    What a blessing DFH Level 1 School has been. The learning experience received was great. Pastor Lynn Hayden’s teaching causes you to dig within yourself. She has an abundance of knowledge that she shares through the school that will take you to go to another level. Going through the DFH Level 1 School pushes you to stir up your creativity in your dance, to grow spiritually, and learn biblically what God says about dancing for Him. The DFH Level 1 School has made a powerful impact on me; it will encourage you, strengthen you, and challenges you not to sit on your talents/gifts, but to use them as a blessing to others and for God. I highly recommend the DFH Level 1 School for those seeking a deeper revelation and another level in Christian dance. I've learned so much more about Worship and Praise dance and other forms of praising God through the arts. The DFH Level 1 School has helped me to grow more as a Christian dancer and it has given me opportunities to step outside of the box.

    Attending DFH has proved to be one of the best decisions that I have made, not just for my ministry but for my life. When the school year first began the list of assignments seemed overwhelming but if you follow the outlines and obey the time frames you can do it all stress free. Being a wife, mother of four, business owner, mentor and very active member at my church DFH was still very doable. The curriculum flowed together beautifully. Each lesson via both Pastor Lynn’s books and DVDs were all taught at an easy to understand level. I felt empowered by each lesson. The school is designed to be a network of support and encourage and that really helps along the way. You won’t regret it if you decide to attend DFH’s online school. The education, activations, friendships and sisterhoods that you will gain will be priceless.

    Hello,
    I am so excited to even talk about this course. I would recommend this to everyone. Especially to those who know you have been called to dance. God truly has a plan and purpose for you on this journey. It is one you will never forget or regret. Through this I have learned so much about who I am as a person and who I am as a leader. Wow am I blown away by what he has shown me. I can promise you one thing at the end of this year if you join you will not be the same, because I am not the same person from when I started. Pray you nothing but blessings

    Thank you again Pastor Lynn

    Being a part of Dancing for Him School has been a life-changing journey. The main reason I joined this school was I wanted to become a better Choreography. Each DVD we went though helped develop skills I never had before. The way Pastor Lynn has developed this program each DVD and book builds on the one before it. You not only get a firm foundation in dance, you also learn about the biblical importance of dance and movement in the bible. The face book page was a great source of information. The sharing among the students was an important part on the program. You could ask question, receive suggestions for problems, you could receive words of encouragement or pray. Pastor Lynn added a person touch by making herself available to us thought email and our Sunday phone chats. As time went on I started questioning my initial motives for joining the school. The more I learned the more I realized that there was a piece of the puzzled missing from my original motive and that was the why. By the end of the program my why had been answered. Why did I want to become a better chorographer it was so I could minster the heart of the father more effectively to his people? So I could share with others that perfect love cast out all fears, so no matter what is going on you can call on the Lord. And most important of all that God sent his only son so that who every believes in him will have eternally life. And that is why I Dance for Him. Thank you Pastor Lynn for helping figure out my Why

    He's turned my mourning into DANCING! I remember one of the very first times I felt the need to move my body in worship. Somehow, just standing there wasn't enough to express what I was feeling inside! But what was I to do with this desire to... dance? That's where the Lord started me on a journey that led me to Dancing for Him. I am so grateful to DFH Ministries and to Pastor Lynn specifically for the last year. The Dancing for Him Ministry School has been such a blessing! Every book, every video, every assignment, poured into me like new wine and refreshed and renewed my passion and calling for dance. Pastory Lynn has an incredible testimony and journey herself and has been used by The Lord to reveal His Heart to the world through dance ministry. If you feel even the slightest incline toward dancing I would encourage you to step out in faith and get startd on this wondeful journey.

    Don’t be intimidated by worship dance! All you need is a genuine love for God, a sincere heart of worship, and a general interest in dance movement. Even if you’ve never danced in your life, God can still use you in worship dance! If you can wave your hands and shuffle your feet, you can dance for the Lord! In Dancing for Him Ministry’s dance school, the emphasis is not just on learning methodology, but also on studying worship dance/movement as mentioned in the Bible, having a good relationship with God, and being sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading. When we dance for the Lord, we are not performing; we are ministering God’s heart to the people. If we open ourselves as empty vessels for God’s use, He can pour into us His thoughts, and use us to bring healing and deliverance to many people.

    In this dance school, above all else, I learned how to quiet myself before the Lord and choreography/present worship dance that come straight from His heart. I’ve never done this before, and I am constantly amazed at how beautiful everything turns out. I know for certain that the dance did not come from me, but from the Lord. If you are interested in letting God use you to minister to people through dance, then this school is for you! You will learn so much through Pastor Lynn’s anointed teaching, and you will also meet so many people who have the same desire and passion to worship the Lord through dance.

    I have always had a passion and love for dance, but that passion had been squashed by the enemy. Without my searching God brought me to Dancing For Him Ministries. Less than one year ago, I started the Dancing For Him school for prophetic dance. I had never heard of prophetic dance before. I am about to finish Level 1 and I cannot express how much God has taught me over the last year. Before, I longed to dance but was caged by what religion and the world said about it. I thought I was too old and too unskilled. Now I have been freed! God has shown me my destiny, that He created me a dancer; that He gave me that passion and love! Through Dancing for Him school He has now given me the tools and the trust in Him! It's almost too much to take in, it's so wonderful! Talent, skill, body type, and age are no longer things to exclude me from dancing, because He made me a dancer and not just a dancer of dances, but a dancer of His heart. These are things I did not understand and could not expressed before the amazing teachings that I received this year at school. Through the school I have discovered new insights to His word; I have learned new dance styles and forms of exercise; I have learned how to choreograph a dance and how to use props; and I have participated in prophetic dance and seen people changed by a touch from God. A year ago I would have laughed if you told me I would dance for the Lord in church. Today I dance for the Lord in church! I have been changed through this education. I have a great family of sisters, also called to dance, that encourage and pray me. I have a family of mentors and a dancing community like no other. Dancing For Him school has brought me knowledge and understanding of my Savior and has given me a confidence I never believed possible. I just have to say, "all glory to God who is able through His might power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think!" He has done that in my life and has used Dancing For Him Ministries and Pastor Lynn's experience and leadership to bring me to the next level and to unlock the next steps in my destiny. I am so thankful to the Father for His goodness and to Pastor Lynn for being His obedient servant and daughter. I hope this leaves no doubt that I highly recommend Dancing For Him Ministries' school for prophetic dance. The King wants His kingdom full of His dancers!

    Hello,
    I can't believe that we are so close to the end of this Level 1 course. Where has the year gone??!
    I have very much enjoyed this course.
    Initially I must say that I was overwhelmed with the idea of completing 28 DVD uploads, 24 essays and product related comments, biographies, phone chats and web checks…but here we are in Oct and we are almost done. I loved the material and in the end having to prepare soemthing every week made me focus, practice and learn so much as I completed each of the assignments. Best of all is that all of the information that I have gleaned is information that I have wanted to learn for years! God knows our hearts!!!
    What a blessing!!!
    Pastor Lynn is a very clear teacher and she is also very patient with us all.
    Getting to know the other members of the class was a special surprise blessing. What an amazing group of women who love the Lord and whose heart is to worship Him in their "dance language".
    If you have wondered about Christian dance, if you are in leadership or if you simply have an interest in dance and the church, this is the course for you!
    Some of us have dance teams, some of us come from churches where dance is not seen as an acceptable form of worship. This is a scripturally based, respectful course that prepares the participant to worship in dance before our Lord with more technique and more spiritual and practical maturity!
    And most importantly, we get to worship our Lord and share His heart with others on and off the stage!
    Blessings to you!!

    It was online, which makes it convenient. You also get to know different people with your similar heart and get new fresh ideas from these people. It was fun because you were learning something new every week (even every day). The books and videos created by Pastor Lynn were easy to follow and understand. We also had the privilege of asking questions. Although this was difficult at first, it taught you who you were as a person in dance ministry.
    These questions allowed for the inexperienced to receive from the experienced, which allowed less fear in trying to approach new things like costumes and procedures in different churches, etc. Lastly, this course was challenging. We had to produce/reproduce what was learned which meant you would be able to teach someone else. That was the whole point of being in this school, to be able to instruct someone else on the techniques, which made it very easy, and helped build my confidence.

    I have learned more than I imagined regarding the calling of the ministry of dance in my life through the Dancing for Him Ministry School! The school is strategically organized where you learn, dance technique, how to effectively choreograph, and how to truly minister. I fully understand the calling on my life so much more and I have the confidence to start the God given vision of a community dance ministry! Throughout this process God has removed things that have been strongholds in my life so I can be free to do His will and to be used without hinderance. I also have learned how to be more disciplined and organized concerning the development of a dance ministry. I am truly blessed to be able to glean from Pastor Lynn’s extensive God given wisdom. I cannot place a value on the knowledge I have gained through the Level 1 course and I am looking forward to being further developed in Level 2! I enjoyed making new lifelong friends through the school who will encourage me as I encourage them and we always pray for each other! The most amazing and unexpected outcome which came a result of the assignments, was that my family became closer together and began to worship more together! You will see why as you do the assignments and if you are willing to allow the fruit of God’s transformation of you to shine!

I had to face and conquer many challenges and today when I look back I don’t even recognize myself. My dance improved, I’ve learned different choreagraphy techniques, I learned to tape & watch myself, I learned teaching techniques and discovered that I had a gift of teaching that was just waiting to be activated. Overall I am a better dancer and a better dance leader.
    We had the best group! We really encouraged, supported and helped each other through the year! Pastor Lynn, the level 2 students, allumnies and Renee were also very available when we needed them!
    One of my hightlights was to host a conference! It was an amazing opportunity to serve, spend time with Pastor Lynn and the amazing Allunmies, that came to teach with her. I was blessed to see change, healing and tranformation happen right before my eyes!
    Overall the one word that I can use for this ministry is CHRISTLIKE!!! Pastor Lynn as received a unique blueprint from the Lord! Her Ministry Dancing for Him reflects the following characters of God.
    Humility, Love, Patience, Acceptance, Encouragement, Unity, submission and order!!!!
    Pastor Lynn I love you and I thank the Lord for you and your ministry! When I was desperate for information about Prophetic Dance the Holy Spirit blessed me by allowing me to come across your ministry! Thank you for all that you have poored in us! May God continue to bless you!!!

    In the area of dance ministry, you will not find a more well rounded and all encompassing course than with Dancing For Him Ministries. Having been involved in dance ministry for over 12 years, all research in this area has lead me back to materials written and developed by Pastor Lynn Hayden. With true Christ-likeness, she is dedicated to teaching and raising up dance ministers, and does it with fullness of joy and a beautifully sweet spirit. The knowledge, revelation, and confidence that I have gained through this course has truly prepared me to move on in boldness in what the Lord has in store. There is a perfect balance of being lead by the spirit and studying both word and technique for excellence in all you do for the Lord. The materials are easy to learn and follow, and are presented in such a way that any one at any level can be successful in this adventure. The students in the course are so encouraging, and what a blessing to be able to communicate with so many who share the same passion of dancing for the Lord. What a blessing it has been!

    I enrolled in the Level One Dancing for Him Ministries’ Training School with the hopes that I would become equipped with teaching others dance, but I received so much more. Pastor Lynn has such a warm heart and kind spirit. She trains her leaders with heart that speaks from years of experience in dance ministry. God has used her to impart and teach me about leadership and dance ministry beyond what I thought I knew. Through my studies God has stretched me not only as a dance leader but in character as well. God has awakened gifts within me that were dormant and rekindled that flame within.
    The curriculum is great and it will inspire and expands your understanding of dance. The work load is not bad as long as you keep to the syllabus she gives. She will work with you and is always available to answer any of your questions or concerns. The fellowship and encouragement that is made between the students is amazing. I am so glad I decided to take this course and look forward to level two next year.

    This has truly been an amazing and eye-opening experience for me. From being able to understand that the yearning to dance that I had was a calling from God to my heart. Then learning to open my heart and allow God to use me as a vessel to spread His message. To go from the nervousness of an untrained dancer to become a willing and obedient disciple was truly a walk of faith. This course, Pastor Lynn and all of my classmates gave me such encouragement that I felt confident and strong enough to believe in myself. All the valuable messages I took from these lessons help to deepen my understanding of just what the dance ministry means and does as a service in the Lord's House. I have always had the inclination to dance but never really pursued training but, building an internal library from the rich knowledge of Pastor Lynn has proven that when God has chosen you and you chose to obey there is no stopping the gift the Lord has given you.
    Pastor Lynn's classes are so full of information I find myself going back to the videos and books over and over again. I also loved the phone chats when we were able to express and were able to listen to the challenges and successes of fellow classmates. We prayed for one another. We encouraged one another. And we laughed with one another. I feel I have true companions on the road to the dance ministry.
    This is a course well worth the time and effort bringing you to the next level of service for the Father.

    I just completed the DFH Online School – Level One. I was tricked! I thought this was going to be some sort of training on how to dance better (it was), how to move more gracefully (it was), how to work with a team better (it was), how to have confidence to step out and dance (it was) – BUT – oh, my, it was so much more! Your heart will change. Your understanding of worship will change. Your understanding of who you are in Christ will change. What had the greatest impact on me was being a part of a group of ladies from all over and seeing how they are fulfilling what the Lord has put in their hearts. I’ve heard their stories. I’ve seen their expression of love in their worship. I’ve prayed for them in their difficulties and they have encouraged and prayed for me. Pastor Lynn has poured her heart into every part of this course. Don’t miss your opportunity to be a part of this life-changing “school.”

Over and over again I was amazed at the revelation and insight I was able to gain through this course. I am so grateful to Pastor Lynn for her gentle and loving spirit, and for all she instills into us personally and collectively. She is a true leader, as she leads by example! My experience of attending a conference was simply wonderful, as I had the opportunity to meet several of my DFH classmates, as well as some Level 2 students. My classmates instantly became my new friends, as though God had simply woven our hearts together for a divine purpose.

Being a part of this ministry has caused me to see myself in a whole new light.

No longer am I able to linger and be passive in the things God has called me to do. I have been changed, challenged, pressed, pushed, and most of all loved.

    Taking the Level 1 class at DFH was a dose of encouragement for me. It helped me to grow technically as a dance minister and has challenged me to come out of the shadows via the videos, chats and required conference.
    However, this course was more than dance for me. It has allowed me to look at myself and others in a different way. I was challenged to overcome my fears and the obstacles that have stopped me from moving forward in other areas of my life.
    God used this class to do a deeper work in me internally and for that I am grateful. I thank Pastor Lynn for being the vessel God has used to be a mentor to me and the other DFH students over the past 8 months.

    I never really knew what it meant to dance for the Lord until I started attending my current church 4 years ago. I watched a choreographed dance at the womens retreat and cried my heart out to the Lord. After talking with the dance team leader, who was also new to the church, but not new to dance ministry, I decided to go to a conference last August with her and a few other dance team members. During that conference, I felt a strong message from the Lord that he has prepared me for "such a time as this". It has been an incredible, spiritl filled journey and I am looking forward to the next level!!

She is truly a gift from the Lord to train up Dancing Worshipers of Jesus. I was continually encouraged by Pastor Lynn, the other students and alumni throughout the year. There is always access for help. I have grown in technique and deeply in my understanding through word study and application expressed in dance as a means of ministering God’s Word.

    I have always been a dancer in my heart and soul and had been given some natural gifting. For me this gift pretty much went un-expressed in the greatest since of the word until GOD began to speak to me of my call to dance for HIM. Being an untrained dancer and having the call to dance placed on my life naturally stirred in me a desire to seek out training for the arena I would be entering into. I reasearched the Dancing For Him School for a whole year before signing on the dotted line. I was somewhat nervous when I began studiying with DFH in Feb 2013. The course is very well rounded and I have grown in techinque and deeply in my understanding as dance as a means of ministering GOD's Word. Pastor Lynn is so humble, and grounded and deeply nuturing to all of us students. And I have met some of the most anointed and giving ladies in this last 9 months. The enviroment that we have is very rich for growth it gives us that added incentive to push foward and minister in the spirit of excellence.

    Dancing for Him school has inspired me, given me connections, and helped me form friendships with dancing sisters and brothers that will last into the heavenly realms. I am stronger and becoming more disciplined in my technique as well. I have been encouraged that all my experience and wisdom and abilities have not been wasted. I have learned so much in how my God given talent and desire of my heart does honor, minister, and glorify Him. I would encourage anyone who thinks they are Called to Dance to take advantage of this awesome school and all the wonderful things Pastor Lynn Hayden has to impart.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this online worship dance school. What I love about Dancing For Him On-Line worship dance school was the amazing support from Pastor Lynn and my fellow classmates. I felt like we were a little family working together to accomplish a common goal which is really special in studying courses online. I also love the fact that this school has opened connections for me to meet other worship dancers with the same heart for the Lord and the dance ministry. I also loved learning the material and being stretched/challenged in my own choreography and being a teacher of worship art expression. It has been an amazing school year which caused me to grow tremendously into my next level of creativity. I cant wait to see what the Lord does next school year!!

    My first year of the Dancing For Him Online Worship Dance School by Lynn Hayden has been the most amazing journey!
    The videos have the best visual ever for demonstrations and activations. These videos are narrated by Lynn and very easy
    to follow along and have filled in the gaps for me concerning tips and techniques. The books by Lynn have lots of scriptures
    and the significance of what words mean pertaining to movement. The books are loaded with creative ideas for all your
    choreography needs. The dance conferences are a real expressive and worshipful experience! I am looking forward to being
    in my second year of Lynn's school and all the adventures it will bring!

    This course changed the way that I not only dance unto the Lord but how I minister as a whole. Each book that I have read and every DVD that I have watched and mimicked has enlarged my dance vocabulary as well as my awareness of what Praise Dance actually does for the body of Christ. God has told me that this was my calling and that I will travel all over the world teaching dance, healing , bringing deliverance, and empowering others to use creative worship in dance. For me, it was hard for me to grasp because I didn’t have any experience in dance technique and didn’t know how I could do it, but I thank God for this course because Dancing For Him was God laying the foundation in my life for me to do what He has called me to do. By doing the video uploads and watching the other students uploads really encouraged me to be comfortable with who I am as a praise dancer and connect with other dancers who hold the same passion to minister unto the Father as I do in their heart. Upon completion of this course, I now have a thirst and a hunger to do the will of our Father. The things that I have learned include: dance technique, dance choreography experience, dance vocabulary, a Biblical foundation of dance, experience in prophetic dance, how to bring creativity to praise dance ministry, team etiquette, and just an overall comfort with allowing the Holy Spirit to lead while I become like a child and enjoy ministering before our Father. Through this course, the Lord has given me friends who share the same passion as I do and an opportunity to talk with them twice a month and to experience Dancing For Him ministry myself and to one day have the joy of joining with the ministry imparting the true awesomeness of praise dance all over the world.

    I was inspired to bring the ministry that God was showing me on the inside outside to God’s people. I was empowered to minister the Father’s heart to churches all over Little Rock, Arkansas. I received the impartation from Dancing for Him Ministry in my spontaneity in dance enough to be bold in my gift of dance in order to do what God has called me to do. I have totally submitted myself unto the plan that God has for my life and I just thank you Pastor Lynn and praise God for giving you the wisdom and the faith to be obedient to His will for your life in taking Dancing For Him to heights the you could never dream or imagine.

    Being a part of the Dancing for Him Training School has been a great learning experience for me. I knew taking this course would give me the spiritual dance training I needed to be a better praise dancer. But, I did not know that it would also make me a more effective dance leader and trainer. Pastor Lynn’s books and digital video disks helped me to be more creative with my choreographed pieces, and to simplify and modify dance moves to teach others with little to no dance experience. I especially liked the telephone conferences where I got to exchanged ideas with my classmates. The practice I received at a live conference under Pastor Lynn’s anointing will never be forgotten. This program truly gave me the confidence I needed to dance and teach with excellence. I would recommend this course to anyone.

    I’m grateful to God for leading me to Dancing for Him Ministries. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from Pastor Lynn Hayden in the DFH School. Pastor Lynn is supportive, encouraging, and is available for DFH students through email and chats.

    The curriculum is easy to follow and assignments evenly spaced for sufficient time to complete. I have 31 years of dance experience, but the DFH School has helped me enhance choreography so that it is most effective when ministered. I have learned creative ways of expressing the heart of God through sign language, flags and billows. Creative worship helped me to understand how to coach my dance team to minister spontaneously and look unified. I’ve learned the foundational Biblical truth for God’s purpose for dance. Thank you Pastor Lynn for your obedience, generosity, encouragement and support. You are an inspiration. Thank you to all DFH students for your support and advice. I am truly blessed to have all of you in my life.

    A few years ago I had purchased a few of Pastor Lynn's products and was longing to attend one of her conferences. In May of 2012 I had the pleasure of attending the New York Conference. It was there that the online course was offered to the participants attending. I was a little apprehensive about signing up due to other financial obligations. However, I kept feeling impressed in my spirit to do it. So I did and when I received the products I was really excited to start, until I received the syllabus. Then I said to myself "What in the world did I get myself into?” Even though it was an online class it required a lot from an individual.

    I must say though, now that I am at the end, this was a great investment. The classes that we took covered such areas as Technical Dance Training, Biblical Foundation, and Creativity Enhancement. I believe this online class has developed me as a worship dancer. I have used some of the information learned in the classes such as creative flow, a word from “Dance, Dance, Dance” and I am in the process of teaching the flag terminology to my dance team. I have grown spiritually and have become more creative in my choreography. If any dancer is interested in growing and going to the next level in their dance ministry, this is definitely the course for them.

    Pastor Lynn has developed and designed a program that will explore the reasons why you should study the ministry of praise dance. This course is designed to give you a well rounded religious and biblical foundation of praise dance. The course also goes though a series of strategically developed DVD’s that are designed to build up, increase and expand your dance repertoire. Another point that stood out to me during my studies was when viewing the DVD’s, Pastor Lynn included many of her students that participated in the workshop. This gave a realistic view on how to administer the steps to the dancers.

    If you are serious about the ministry of praise dance, and if you want the questions answered of the ‘what, why and how’ of praise dance ministry, Then Pastor's Lynn has designed this course of study that will not only answer these questions, but also help you grow as a praise dancer.

    Once you’ve had something stir inside of you and you can sense that dancing fits and that you’d like to give it a try, I’d recommend the Dancing for Him Ministries certificate course.

    The exercises that you work through in this yearlong course will grow you as a dancer and intercessor and you will be amazed at your progression. As you go along your yearlong journey you are connected to, mentored, and encouraged by Pastor Lynn Hayden an anointed teacher, dancer, and leader. Going over pilates, ballet, modern dance, and stretching DVDs, I seemed to develop more energy and endurance. I was excited about the growth in being able to put together choreography, especially on short notice, for praise and worship services for my church. Most importantly, I recognized that when doing the course work of the Awakening Passion, Creative Worship and Perfume of Fire DVDs that I gained knowledge of the scriptural understanding that support dancing, giving me a stronger biblical foundation for dancing. I sensed that I was being released and confirmed to dance before the Lord. Overall I’m becoming more comfortable and confident dancing for myself and for God.

    Having danced for the Lord as part of several praise ministries for over 10 years, without the benefit of the training I’ve gotten in the Dancing for Him course, I can honestly reflect on how much of what we as a ministry did was trial and error. Even though our ministry prayed over decisions, bonded, and did a lot right, so much extra work, disappointment, embarrassment, and frustration could have been avoided. When I consider all that was lost in our processes of trial and error as a ministry, it would have easily covered any investment in the Dancing for Him course. The foundations learned from the course would have come in handy. I can honestly say that going through the Dancing for Him course is a truly worthwhile blessing on so many different levels.

    I feel that taking this course was one of the biggest victories and challenges I have had in my ministry yet….since I have so much responsibility it was something that I knew I needed to do since I would gain so much from networking with the other woman in similar ministries. As I stepped out to do it I found I had to kick out of the way every obstacle that came along….and it wasn’t so easy – but actually had to allow God to remove those obstacles – because in fact it was probably actually areas in me that had to be worked on and work out so that I could properly focus. From taking this course it has helped me to re-focus back to the calling that the Lord had placed in me and help me to overcome all the fears I had – even in my position of leadership I had insecurities that now I can humbly speak of and share with other leaders with a manner of humility I pray that I have developed. So thank you for being faithful over all these years and so disciplined to put down into paper and video resources and keep on going! You are greatly appreciated!

    I would like to express how much I have learned by studying through this course. In such a short period of time, I have advance in my knowledge first with the word of God.. and then that of dance. As I study each lesson I could see an increase in my word vocabulary of dance movements. I have gained a sense of freedom to be creative in my dance. I really enjoy the step by step instructions provide. Your teaching through a video had such a touch of warmth and compatibility to it that I was always able to stay on task to what you was teaching. The reading material was a great supplement to the videos and for my dance team. I also believe having us attend a conference is a great idea because it emphasizes your teaching course. The experience I had at both conferences will forever remain priceless in my heart. This teaching as placed me right where God wants me to be. I look forward to Level 2 I'm soooooooooooo glad there will be deadlines.

    This has been a very valuable class. I saw the wisdom and knowledge that Pastor Lynn has from the very first conference I went to. I bought one of each of the items knowing they would be wonderful tools for me to learn to dance. When I made the decision to take the class, I knew it would be a commitment, but had no idea of all there is to learn. Every subject studied in this class is something that can be used over and over again. With all of the variety of options that can be used the choreography can be endless, even for an inexperienced dancer like me. By the end of this school year I am finally beginning to see myself as a dancer that can express the passion and worship that has been bottled up in me. Thank you so much Pastor Lynn for making this available in DVDs and books so they can be referenced to keep the dance skills up and for fresh ideas. I would highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to worship the Lord with all their might in their private time or finding themselves leading a dance ministry.

    Participating in Pastor Lynn’s Dance Minister’s Course has been a wonderful growing experience for me. I have been equipped with tools to begin moving forward with more confidence in the things the Lord is calling me to with dance. I am glad to have these resources to refer back to and I am sure I will often. I am eager to share what I have learned with others as well. I definitely feel more prepared to be doing dance ministry in my church.

    I would definitely recommend this course to anyone that has a desire to worship though dance no matter what kind of background or experience they have in dance. Pastor Lynn leads with integrity and has so much wisdom and expertise to offer her students. She has created a safe environment for dancers to explore and grow in this calling.

    I look forward to moving forward in my journey dancing with Him wherever He may lead. Thanks so much for your investment in my life Pastor Lynn. God Bless you!

    Dancing for him level one certification was a step out for me. I was part of a beginning dance ministry, had not danced since I was a young child - so my skills needed dusting off. Through the study of these resources, I have been able to renew my joy in dance, recapture some strength, flexibility and balance in my personal movements; learn and explore my abilities to teach others; AND help begin a reclaiming of the arts for our Lord and King within my church and community. Feeling blessed and accomplished as I near the end of the required course work for this program.
