2017 Major Praise Dance Conferences

Some of the hypest praise-dance events of 2016 have already passed, giving hundreds of you the opportunity to learn from and dance, sing or mime alongside some of the country's most noted liturgical teachers, worship artists and minstrels and psalmists.
     But, never fear, we can look forward to more and more in 2017 ~ this is a growing list of what we consider "major" praise-dance and worship-arts events, where attendees get the chance to meet two or more noted worship-arts leaders.
