The movements just need to travel from one place to another. Of course, you can create all kinds of new locomotor movements if you choose. If you analyze the technique base for every dance form, you will see these basic locomotor choices fashioned in a particular technique base with a uniqueness that makes that style stand out. Basic locomotor movements include walking, jumping, running, hopping, leaping, sliding, galloping, crawling, and skipping.
Locomotor movement “usually involves moving around the wider, available area, with the body not anchored and with complete transfer of weight.” In other words, moving from point A to point B. Locomotor movement is the act or power of moving from place to place (Webster’s Dictionary). To understand these terms, let’s briefly look at each category and define their meaning. That technical understanding is the foundation for all formal dance styles, pedestrian movement, and PIM choreography. He designed human beings to move in two major ways: locomotor and non-locomotor movement. What movement base do all dance forms (including worship dance) have in common? The Master Choreographer has the answer. How should we approach dance and choreography in ministry with such a wide range of diversity in age and dance skills? Think with me for a moment. These are dancers who give glory to God through movement but have no formal training in the field of dance. Moreover, there are a large group of churches nationally who utilize a “worship dance” team on Sunday mornings.

With numerous dance styles to draw from (ballet, hip-hop, modern, jazz, tap, etc.) and a plethora of dance techniques to know, it is difficult to decide how to approach movement creation for ministry presentation as well as how to design movement for dancers with a wide range of movement abilities. Most are not professionals and most have a limited dance background.
Many choreographers and dancers in the church become overwhelmed as they approach both choreography and/or dance technique for church dance ministry.
