Brown was inspired by dance and movement and created Dancing Without Sin as a result.
“[I was] Trying to create a comfortable atmosphere for participants who did not feel comfortable dancing and moving. Dancing is sometimes viewed as a sin in the Christian community. The Lord guided me with this name to encourage the forgotten Christian. That is the one group that no one thinks about, and God wants people to be healthy. So, I just changed up the game by changing the playlist to old school Gospel tunes to get churches moving and grooving while praising.”
She mentioned the psychological, physical, and emotional aspects of dancing to optimal health.
“Dancing or any kind of movement is good for the blood flow which leads to the heart. We can also build muscle while dancing, which makes us stronger. Dancing gives us confidence even if you are not the best dancer. It is a mood changer. Dancing is known to release stress and decrease anxiety. It can stimulate the brain to impact emotions. The endorphins in the brain are the ‘feel good’ chemicals. These chemicals cause the feeling of happiness while dancing. You do not have to be a good dancer, just put on your favorite music, start moving your arms and legs, watch the change in your mood, and the smile on your face.”
Brown shared her passion and business model for Dancing Without Sin.
“Movement is my passion. I just love music so much; it goes hand and hand and makes dance,” she said. “Currently, Dancing Without Sin is planning to present future Christian conferences all over the world. I will be training persons to become Movement Ministers. These individuals will take the business model and skills to churches and the larger community. My objective is getting the people in the churches and the larger community moving, getting healthy, and preparing healthy meals.”
Brown is enthusiastic about the upcoming conference.
“The event began as a 55th birthday celebration. My assistant suggested a movement conference. The movement conference can focus on the emotional well-being and psychological aspects of movement. One of my gifts, I am the best motivator. This event will not feature dancing. I will have motivational speakers that will speak on different topics. Vendors and business spotlights will be available at the conference,” she said.
