they dance to different kinds of music like jujube and Kaunda and kabuki etc."they dance to different kinds of music like jujube and Kaunda and kabuki etc." I don't know who wrote this, but whomever did is hilarious! Historically, Mennonites considered dancing to be lewd, heretical, and unbecoming of Christian-like behavior. It wasn't until the late 80's that select Mennonite college campuses began allowing on-campus dances. Although there is more tolerance of dancing in the churches now than ever before, dancing is still frowned upon by many in the older generation. So to answer your question: Very few Mennonites dance, and those who do participate in dance forms that you are familiar with (Ballet, Modern, Tap, Hip Hop, Salsa, Bachata, West African, square dancing, liturgical dancing, Twerking, and the Harlem Shake). I was raised Mennonite, and I am now a professional Contemporary dancer. Mennonites aren't much different than the rest of the population despite preconceived notions. They are not Amish (who, by the way, don't dance at all).

The Mennonites first settled in the state of Pennsylvania. The Mennonites who first migrated over to the United States were primarily of German ancestry.
Answer: Since Mennonites follow the teachings of the Christian scriptures, the Bible, they have only one wife, for life.
The mennonites originated from Europe because a catholic priest actually read the bible. the priests' name was Menno Simons and he joined the anabaptists, which were later called mennonites. They were renamed Mennonites because they followed Menno's beliefs.
Christian. Mennonites are a Christian denomination who arose from the teachings of Menno Simons. The mennonites vary in strictness and old order mennonites are very similar to liberal amish.
Because they can. Mennonites have no sacraments. Mennonites have ceremonies like (Believers-) Baptism and Lord's Supper (and somtimes also foot-washing) without sacred meaning.
Yes mennonites swim I know some that wakeboard, tube, and own boats.
The doctrine of original sin is one that Mennonites do not hold to. Mennonites believe that children are innocent and are not able to sin until the age of reasoning is reached.
Mennonites have broken off of the Amish. The Mennonites have different groups and can be as liberal as any other church in the United states.
