Pentecostals think dance is sinful. That is not my point, nor my opinion.
I think dance is inappropriate for the Mass. It is distracting, as would be jokes, mimes, acrobats, performing monkeys, or hurdy-gurdy music.
These things are not sinful, but they are not reverent.

BTW, ALL Pentecostals don't think dance is sinful. Most of them, in fact, clearly allow free-form dance during services.
On the other hand I think they continue to discourage pube to pube events, in general.
The groups I was thinking of are mostly "fundamentalist", not "Pentecostal". Besides, there are Catholic Pentecostals (who seem to have begun practicing in secret ~ at least the ones I know aren't publicising it as much now as they did 20 years ago).

These things are not sinful, but they are not reverent. Very true.
Certain music is in appropriate too.
