The Shakers were named for their ecstatic style of worship, which involved shaking, trembling, and dancing during religious services. This unique form of worship was seen as a physical manifestation of spiritual energy and was a key aspect of Shaker religious practice.

They developed from the religious group called the shakers which developed in the 17th century. Both groups believed that everybody could find God within him or herself, rather than through clergy or rituals, but the Shakers tended to be more emotional and demonstrative in their worship. Shakers also believed that their lives should be dedicated to pursuing perfection and continuously confessing their sins and attempting to stop sinning.
