This is a beautiful, heartfelt, translation of a song into dance.
I think it’d be an interesting experiment to see how Fred Astaire or Danny Thomas would interpret such a song.

The timing and entire body movement is something. They make what is very difficult look sooo easy.

Well, I gave my definition of dance and Vers got all bent out of shape and left the conversation.

Per Merrium-Webster

a series of rhythmic and patterned bodily movements usually performed to music

This clinical definition ignores the art, expression, feeling, shapes, forms and space that the dancer/s and their body/bodies inhabit and move in.

While cold and unfeeling, that is the definition of dance. It doesn't need to be good, or even in time.

The expression and the emotion is what makes it an art and what makes it special.

Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
