is it wrong to be exuberant or to sing and dance in Christian worship?
No, it is not wrong to be exuberant or to sing and dance in Christian worship.

However, such expression must be tempered with common sense and done with understanding.
Les explains that while some believers may have become too laid back in worship, the Bible does show instances of people singing and dancing before the Lord. He says there is nothing wrong with singing, and nothing wrong with exuberance in our Christian spirit—absolutely nothing. But he emphasizes that it must be tempered with common sense. Paul teaches that whatever we do in communication with God should be done in understanding, and he declares, 'I will sing with the understanding also.' So worship can be expressive, yet it should be intelligible and edifying.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
