Isa. 66:8 (b) As Soon as Zion travailed she brought forth her children. The word for travail  here according to Strongs means
  1. to dance
  2. to twist, writhe
  3. to whirl, whirl about
 Lk.15:25 There was music and dancing in the Fathers house.
 
 Ps. 149:3 Let the children of Zion dance
 
Ps 150:4 Praise him with the tambourine and dance.
 
Jer. 31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance.
 
Dancing was one of those things that passed right through the cross unchanged.
The word rejoice in most cases; means to move around skip about and dance.... History records that dancing was a part of the church until the church went into the dark ages around 300 AD.( The church quit her dance, when she replaced grace and faith, for law and works)  It was recovered when light came to Martin Luther in the 1500s and continued into the Pentecostal movement in the early 1900's.
 
 The older Pentecostals believed that the spirit had to come on you, and make you dance.  "called dancing in the spirit"   The spirit really did do that and it was real,  but as we grow up in Christ we come to understand, He does not have to come on us to make us dance,  we now have an unction from the Holy One (1 Jn. 2:21) which means we have the divine right to go ahead.
 
Abel-Mehola--(The meadow of the dance) is the place where Gideon defeated the Medianites. It is also the place where Elijah found Elisha.
 
Dancing gives birth to victory:   
It is the result of restoration. Lk.15:25" It is giving the Lord pleasure in praise. Ps:68:11  It is directing our emotions toward God, so that our emotions do not direct us.
 
 Rom 12:1 --- It is allowing the spirit of the word to have all of our members.
 
Rom.6:19--- It is the act of the inner man, giving our strength to the Lord.
2 Sam 5:6
 
"I see a dancing Jesus who has defeated every enemy"
