The Israeli Celebration Dancers (ICD) are
a mixture of Christians (Jews and Gentiles) from all over Northern Colorado who express their love for Israel, the Jewish people, and the Jewish Messiah through dance and celebration. The dancers have traveled and danced in Israel, New York, Pennsylvania, Chicago and throughout Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. The ICD have also produced two cutting edge dance videos that express the passion that can be found in loving Yeshua (Jesus). The Israeli Celebration Dancers have been in existence for over a decade. The group started performing as a cultural attraction, but eventually came to see that the reason for the dance was to show the joy and freedom that God has given to them. As this revelation came, the ICD became more and more radical in their dancing, and because of God's blessing, also became busier. Parades, town festivals, church conventions, etc. became a regular activity, bringing the average number of performances in a year to over 60.
Dieynu (this would have been enough)
This would have been enough for the ICD, DIEYNU, but God had more in mind. In the beginning, the dancers mainly performed folk dances. However, during the first trip to Israel, a member of the team purchased a Hassidic party album. It included very fast music. From then on, the music kept getting faster. Now, a main preoccupation is finding the best and fastest dance music in the world. Strangely, this search always leads to the same group of people; the people whom God has chosen, the Jews. The very name Yehuda (from which comes "Jew") means praise, and this is where the ultimate praise music comer from.
Vision
At this time, the vision for the ICD is to build a bridge, using music and dance, joining the Christian church and the Jewish people together in praise. In this way, the Christian church can join in the revival and learn that it is possible to be so in love with God that you just have to dance wildly around the room! From this bridge, the Jews may come to see that their Messiah, who is to come, has already come! Then we can all dance together in the Kingdom of Yeshua the Messiah!
