Paul was acknowledging that men have a very strong sex drive that is easy to set off. Dancing to bring attention to yourself or your body, therefore, would be sinful. Because of this, many styles of pair dancing outside of marriage can be very tempting, especially to the man. Exodus 15:20 - Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dancing. King James Bible (kjv) "Dancing" - mentioned in 6 books and occurs 7 times in the Bible. In 1 Corinthians 7:1-3, the writer says, "It is good for a man not to touch a woman" (NASB, KJV). It is important to realize that the worship of God in ancient times was considerably different than it is today. "Dancing" - discussed most often in the books of Samuel-1 (2), Exodus (1) and Samuel-2 (1). The KJV word for dancing (or variation thereof) is found only twenty-one times in the Bible.
