Meet God In Your Movement.
Connect the dots between your dance and your faith.
This is Being Salt.
An online platform for spiritually hungry dancers.
We help trained and non-trained dancers develop intimate connection with God in your body, movement, and creativity. Our services are designed to help you connect the dots between your dance and your faith, give you steps for hearing God's heart for your gift, and provide tools for meeting God in your movement.
You have a gift.
You know what it is to worship God with your dance, but you want to experience His Presence in your movement.
You’re dying to walk in your calling and explode in creative pursuits, but fear, shame, and a lack of tools are holding you back.
You know there is more that God has for your dance-life, but you have trouble accessing it in your current season or setting.
You love the Lord. You’re hungry to please him and give him glory with your dance. You’re anxious to make a difference and become all that you were made to be.
You need help going deeper.
When dance is disconnected from the Lord, you are vulnerable to all kinds of insecurities…
“I hate how I look when I dance.”
"I struggle with knowing my worth is in Christ and not in how well I perform."
"I can't do anything without critiquing myself."
"I feel paralyzed with thoughts of inadequacy."
"Dance feels like a duty and a chore.”
"I feel betrayed and burned by dance."
"There must be more to dance than this."
"Experiencing God's Presence in my body feels elusive and hard."
"I feel stuck in a cycle of shame and I don't know how to get free."
Let's get you intimately connected to God in the body, movement, and creativity He gave you.
How We Do It.
Pursue connection over perfection.
We teach a repeatable process to get consistent results for dancers of all backgrounds: breakthrough in experiencing God's power and presence in your dancing body. Move your relationship with God past your head and journal and into your form and physicality. Learn to listen with your movement and develop your unique prayer language with the Lord. Experience God's pleasure over your body. Through intentional, specific, grace-filled steps, you can grow a sustainable, intimate practice of meeting God in your dance.
When you commit to the process of consistently meeting God in your movement, you will…
Stop going through the motions and physically experience God as you dance.
Stop wondering if you're worthy of experiencing God's Presence in your body and start expecting Him to show up.
Stop the merry-go-round cycle of shame, fear, and performance that's holding you back and connect to God's extreme pleasure over your movement.
Experience the depth of freedom Jesus has for you in your dancing!

"Tehillah's prompts have not only created a safe space for me to move with God, but also to focus. They have become my daily devotional and always spark dialogue with God and I for the rest of the day. It's been fun to invite my daughter to do the prompts with me as well!"

"I have learned so much from Tehillah and her Being Salt movement! I have learned how to process my emotions more intimately through dance, and I have become even closer to Jesus. She is an inspiration to me daily and an incredible role model."

"I finally feel free! Like I'm actually walking in the freedom that God has already decreed. It's weird and exciting and almost doesn't seem real! But I'm just in awe of what dancing with the Holy Spirit can look like! So much more than movement!"

"One of the struggles I’ve always had is not liking my choreography. Being Salt has helped me enter into a space where I can access movement from my spirit that is organic and authentic. It’s as if I’ve been finding my true voice because I’ve been able to connect with my true self/inner being/heart. These experiences are beginning to bleed into my choreography. Not only that, but I’m more integrated as a person because of this process."

"After several years of dance feeling dormant in my life, Tehillah’s prompts have helped me tremendously by giving me tools and encouragement to rediscover my 'salt'."

"I’m reminded over and over again that my identity as a dancer and as a human being is not defined by what I produce (quality dancing, profound insights, etc). But I can rest in the arms of my Father who loves me deeply and knows me intimately. To that end, the Being Salt prompts have been a balm for my soul to read and experience."
Bethany Houk
God doesn't want cookie-cutter worship.
He wants worship that smells like you, tastes like you, sounds like you, and looks like you.
We believe that your dance is an extension of your heart. Movement that comes out of you is a continuation of what is happening on the inside of you. God gave you a unique blend of salt to distribute through your movement. The more you get to know that salt, the more others will be able to "taste and see" God's presence in your dancing. Your salt - the essence of you in relationship with the Lord - is valuable and mighty. Start the journey of discovering your salt through movement and develop deep connection with God as He leads you.

On The Blog
This is a loaded question that I asked on purpose, because the belief of what your dance is worth is the foundational piece underneath many other beliefs and mindsets. We're tackling it in this post!
