I am a very compassionate and thankful kind of person person. What denomination expresses alot of praise and thankfulness through music and dance. . ? I feel a longing to find a website, church, or others that celebrate the gift of life in this way, in honor of a holy presence in our lives. .

*Wicca and many pagan traditions do that. In fact that is where it all got started. The answer to your question is when we honor the diety that reisides in us all we are spirituality fulfilled and at peace with ourselves.
The early Christians in the first few centuries of Christianity did not use instruments of music or dance because it was not commanded in the bible and us pagans did that. They took the commandment to not do as the heathen did strictly.
But the last few centuries starting with the introduction of instruments of music in the Christian worship in the 600's Christianity has learned of our ways and embraced them and with the split of the Catholic church and the start of protestantism the rise of denominations have embraced our traditions more and more.
The answer to the last part of your question is if you want a Christian professed church that embraces our pagan traditions fully like you just described, in instruments of music, dance and Ecstasy, try the Pentecostals, they are the ones who are closer to our traditions than the others. They go into trances like we do, roll on the floor and dance in Ecstasy. and speak in ecstactic utterance just like we do. I have been to many of their services and it is just like some of ours. Not all pagans engage in this but many do and that is like I said where it all got started. *

My church is of african american origin, although I am white. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. I have visited different churches and none made me feel that oomph I needed, until I went to the Second Baptist Church. The pastors sermon is fairly short due to them believing that you should praise by singing and dancing. It really gives you what your lacking. I am proud of you for starting your journey with the Lord! I hope I have helped. If not try praying, the Lord will point you in the right direction.

It depends on who you ask. Some people define it as when you get "saved" you are filled with the holy spirit. some believe you get saved and you have to be filled with the hs which happens in a separate experience where you go into a almost trance state and speak in tongues and are filled with joy. some describe it as a feeling of Joy. Some at the bottom of their life and the end of their rope get "filled" by God after they are emptied out experiencing a peace in extreme adversity like corrie ten boom.

Our church worships as you describe - Church of God - it's a Pentecostal denomination, and I hope you find what you are looking for!
The Bible says, seek and you shall find!!!

To be spiritually fulfilled is to be all that God has called you to be.
There are websites that I could direct you to...
It depends on your persuasion.
