FRAGRANCE OF WORSHIP - WORSHIP DANCE CONFERENCE - LAGRANGEVILLE, NY - JUNE 5-6, 2026

Recap video from a 2025 conference.

"14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us [a]diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?" 2 Corinthians 2:14-16

Instructor/Facilitator:

Pastor Lynn M Hayden (click here for bio)

With nearly 60 years of dance experience behind her, Lynn has dedicated all her ballet, modern, jazz, and choreography technique to the Lord for His glory. She has performed with the Towson State University Dance Company, and the Ballet Theatre of Annapolis and and has been ministering, for the Lord, through dance, since 1986. Lynn is a well-known author of eight books on worship and prophetic dance, and producer of over thirty worship dance videos and administrates a successful on line ministry dance school, and on demand courses. Lynn assisted the choreographer and danced in Integrity Hosanna’s music video “Sing Out” with Ron Kenoly; and has traveled, teaching Dancing For Him Conferences for over 25 years. As founder, director and administrator for the Dancing For Him ONLINE SCHOOL, Lynn is a gifted leader of leaders. Her graduates have grown substantially in their call to dance for the Lord. Many people mentored by Lynn, over the years, have successfully gone on to have their own dance teams, hold their own workshops, choreograph beautiful ministry dances and even write their own books. The school has enabled Lynn to perpetuate her legacy of transforming hearts and changing lives, through ministry dance. Many lives have been touched and changed by this unique, ministry. It is much more then just learning how to dance. Lynn utilizes the prophetic arts as a means by which to minister the heart of God with an anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage, heals and delivers!

    RESOURCES

    BOOKS, VIDEOS, FLAGS, AND MORE...

    Many of the DFH products (flags, billows, veils, books, Tshirts, some DVDs) will be available for sale during special times at the conference, at "lower-then-bookstore conference prices." You'll want to take advantage of the opportunity. 

    Meanwhile, you may go here to explore what is available.

    DIGITAL PRODUCTS

    Some time before the event, you will be given a special link to a page that will also show many more digital products (E-books and Digital Video Downloads) that may be purchased at a deep discount up through the end of the conference. 

    There will be a booklet on the product table that will show all the DFH digital downloads. Or I may take out each page and spread them out on the product table for you to see. If you don't want to order yourself with a QR code, you may pick up an "order form," fill it out and bring it to the check out area, where you may pay for your digital items. Then, when I get back home (or sometimes while I'm waiting at the airport), I will send you all your download links.

    Meanwhile, you may go here for videos and here for books to explore what is available.

    T-SHIRTS

    You will be given opportunity during check out to pre-purchase a DFH T-shirt. If you do up to two weeks before the conference, it will be shipped to you. If you pre-order from two weeks up to 4 days before (through a special link in your "Hand out page," it will be waiting for you at the registration table.  Because of the limited weight for check in luggage, there will be only a small selection of T-shirts available for sale at the conference. It would be best to order during check out, so you will have it to wear during the conference.

    Meanwhile, you may go here to explore what could be available.

    We can not guarantee color or size preference. Also, in the check out area, should you decide not to pre-buy a T-shirt, please still make a color and size "suggestion" and we will come as close to it as possible. This will help me know what to have available for sale at the product table. Thanks for your help on that!
