RE: Dance: Extremist Christian Propaganda

It's funny because when I decided to put this here I was also expecting a little bit of counter argument from someone who's a Christian. They are still around right? I would like someone who is a dedicated Christian to react to this, because right now I'm thinking; How do you debate this with rational thinking people? And how could anyone defend the ignorance being displayed in the video.
The girl in the video, I don't blame. She looks young and someone told her (manipulated) her to do it. I get the feeling that Christians always look for something to blame, allot of the things that aren't even written in the Bible, and if it is it's misinterpreted like crazy!
So anyone reading this whom is a dedicated Christian; Do you agree with this, if so please elaborate. What kind of people are these (besides Propaganda Extremists) in the community, what are they doing it for exactly and does anyone know where the April&Wayne show is based; who they are, what church they go to and all that.
Thanks*
After the game, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.

The video doesn't show up for me. I'm not surprised that some christians hate dancing. You've got something called "the forbidden dance", and I've heard public dancing was one looked down upon. Maybe still is. See, dancing is closely related to sex, and sex is evil, so dancing is evil too.

I have commented 3 times, 2 times which has just been deleted and 1 comment I just put there half an hour ago, but is most likely going to be deleted soon; they do this for one purpose only, to generate more views which is sad.

This is an example of a useless attack on something that is so positive! I am dancer; Hip Hop & Breakdancing to be exact. They condemn everything in this video and I even know a few people personally in this video. This video is offensive to the dance scene and dancers worldwide.
April&Wayne are unimaginably ignorant for making this video and it shows that they have no understanding about dancing what so ever.
This, in combination with what is going on in Uganda nowadays, makes it very difficult for me to respect Christianity. As a non-theist, yes I do respect it and leave people with their believes and values, but this was such a pointless attack I could not let it go. I got ten minutes in and I a few question already. Why does satan want to take people to hell, what does he get from it? Why would be jealous of dancing to non christian music? Does this woman not understand passion? Or the concept of things being done in the heat of the moment? how does she know devils are real? If they are real how does she know that what she does is glorifying god? What if she is the possessed by a devil and the dance actually pleases the real god? Why would a omnipotent god even want praise from humans? I would think any being worthy of [raise would be encourage to see us express our nature in beautiful songs.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

modern, Orthodox, Jewish couple, preparing for a religious wedding, meets with their rabbi for counseling.
The rabbi asks if they have any last questions before they leave.
The man asks, "Rabbi, we realize
it's tradition for men to dance with men, and women to dance with women at the reception. But, we'd like your permission to dance together."
"Absolutely not," says the rabbi. "It's immodest.Men and women always dance separately."
''So after the ceremony I can't even dance with my own wife?"
"No," answered the rabbi. "It's forbidden."
"Well, okay," says the man, "what about sex?
Can we finally have sex?"
"Of course!" replies the rabbi. "Sex is a mitzvah (good thing) within marriage, to have children!"
"What about different positions?" asks the man.
"No problem," says the rabbi. "It's a mitzvah!"
"Woman on top?" the man asks.
"Sure," says the rabbi. "Go for it! It's a mitzvah!"
"Doggy style?"
"Sure! Another mitzvah!"
"On the kitchen table?"
"Yes, yes! A mitzvah!"
"Can we do it on rubber sheets with a bottle of hot oil, a couple of vibrators, a leather harness, a bucket of honey and a porno video?"
"You may indeed. It's all a mitzvah!"
"Can we do it standing up?"
"No." says the rabbi."
"Why not?" asks the man.
"It could lead to dancing!"

Well what do you expect, its like when preachers say how satanic stuff like Harry Potter, Pokemon and Twilight are (Twilight written by a mormon ironically). They are opposed to virtually all modern culture, even stuff that isn't remotely Satanic, I remember hearing one of them slam Paramore (my favourite band) for being blasphamous even though they are actually Christians.
Honestly is 21st Century culture is such a problem for them like street dance (I am a fan of it done well) music, literature etc. then they are free to become amish and stop bothering the rest of us
