ACTS STATIONARY This pattern can both be used in Praise and Worship dance and the only thing you need to take note of is the tempo of the song on which you particularly dance and in accordance to the beat. To execute Acts (Stationary) is just the same with Acts jumping, the only difference would obviously be the mov ements.
ACTS JUMPING Foot works: 1.Start with step-close-step step-close-step motion going to your left and then right. Just do this step as vic e versa and follow what you can see on the video sample. 2.When you loop tap the t ambourine on the last 4 counts, just gallop as high as your ankle is reaching your behind. Hand movements: 1.There are 16 counts in total when you do t his pattern. It starts with tap and rock pattern from upper right going to your lower left as you can see in the video sample. The next step will be tap and rock on your upper left going to your lower right as you shift weights when you do this together with the f oot works. 2. Draw a big circle in front of you twice, which makes the count as 8,7,6,5. The last four counts of the pattern will be your 4 counts of loop tap. March (Pattern for tambourine) is the easiest pattern that I can think of without forgetting it even if you try it for the first time. You just need to do a marchstep while you perform the hand movements. Zip on the tambourine twice and make sure your tambourine is a span away from your chest. Tap your wrist on the tambourine twice without moving your tambourine at the center position, just keep it steady and your wrist is the one t o hit the tambourine, not tambourine membrane hitting your wrist. The last hand movement will be hitting your elbow on the membrane ending it with check down. Banner (Jumping) The only difference in executing this pattern is that you need to jump while performing the hand movements I mentioned in Banner stationary. But when you try to end the pattern on using the four zip movements which will be drawing an imaginary square, in Banner Jumping, you need to circle around and do the zip movement. You might get off the balance but practice makes perfect, in due time you can master the movements of banner jumping. Banner stationary This pattern has two variations which is the stationary and the jumping. In banner stationary the first movement that we need to do is tap and rock on the left then another on the right. Followed by a swaying your both arms drawing an i nfinity symbol as arms cross over, you begin to tap and rock on the upper left corner, then tap and rock on the l ower left. The ending of the pattern consists of 4 zip patterns in square locations starting from lower right, upper right, upper left and lower left. Shoulder This pattern has 16 counts and starts at swivel tap and tap-end twice. If you would notice, the tambourine was placed on the shoulder lever and the movement of the ribbon once you tossed it up m oves up as a flipped ribbon. The pattern ends with two loop taps, one tap on wrist and one tap on the elbow. Just don¶t give too much force when you strike the membrane of your tambourine on your wrist and elbow.
Hosanna This is a wonderful pattern which is gracefully dance during worship. Just spread wide your arms and do not clip your armpit when doing this particular pattern. You can easily rewind or replay the video clip if you cannot get it. Glory is a tambourine pattern also included in Book 1. You can use this pattern on praise and worship, but I still suggest you use it on solemn songs for worship. This pattern starts with with two zips and then touches the back of the m embrane and loop tap twice. Do the swivels in two counts and then shake tap twice also on the left side. The next pattern would be the fan which is also on two counts followed by fan down in a zigzag movement like your chopping off something. The way you end this pattern is a swivel with a big drawing of a circle as you tap the tambourine in front. There are 16 counts in total for this pattern. Just rewind and replay the video if you can¶t remember much. Practice makes perfect. Full Gospel Sided Pardon me if you cannot hear t he swivel tap of my tambourine because I forgot to remove the garter silencer of my tambourine. It is just the same in performing this type of pattern. If you have read the Full Gospel Stationary, then you should easily learn that this pattern is just the same thing. The only difference in doing this pattern is that you need to position yourself from side to side. It should be done on the left side first before going to the right side and the foot work is just point step as you shift each opposite directions It is executed slow but gracefully done. As you can see on the video the movements are like swaying from side to side and can easily be done without any conflict. The hand movements are gentle taps with a total of 8 counts but to be
executed twice. The last three counts are tap-end tambourine hand movements as you can see on the video sample. Hope you are encouraged to dance gracefully and are motivated through the works of the Holy Spirit. God bless.

Just patiently watch the video and follow the steps I have given here and hope you m ake it right.

The total count for this pattern is still 16 counts and it is good to perform this during praise songs. Obviously Hope tambourine pattern is executed on a fast paced song. I don¶t suggest that you use it on a slow song usually sang in worship service. Victory B (Tambourine) Pattern Victory B Victory B tambourine pattern is not the same thing with Victory A. This pattern has only 6 counts but needs to be done in repetition. The last patterns you need to take note of are the swivel and shake and then tapping of the tambourine.

Covenant (Tambourine Pattern) Book 1 This pattern can be used on both praise and worship songs and it is called Covenant. I¶m sorry if there was no counting involved in most of my video samples. I will try my best to upgrade first my gadget in order to capture the most viewable and clear audio. So far, I am just using a Kodak digital camera for recording my videos. About the pattern, it has a total of 16 counts. On hand movements, you first need to do the swivel tap end on the left side and do this vice versa on the opposite direction.

About the footwork, you can see that I draw a half circle facing on the left side when I perform the last three taps of the pattern. Just rewind the sample clip for you to practice it and I am sure you will get it in no time.
