Mennonite dance refers to traditional dance practices within Mennonite communities, which vary by region and cultural background. Generally, Mennonites have historically been reserved regarding dance, often viewing it with caution due to its potential for promoting frivolity. However, some Mennonite groups, especially those influenced by broader cultural trends, do participate in Folk Dancing or community dances that foster fellowship and cultural expression. These dances are often characterized by simple, communal movements rather than elaborate choreography.

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).
