Looking for Bible verse about praising God with the gifts he's given us

I'm trying to find the verse about 'singing, dancing etc whatever talents God's given you do it to praise him' (something along those lines). Also the verse that 'you can praise God in everyday life, even while doing mundane tasks.'
I need this for a Youth Bible Study and have been having lots of trouble finding it. I've checked concordances, searched the Net, Bible Study books. I've found some stuff, but not the precise verses I want.
Can anyone please help me?!
Thanks!

Hmmm, are you perhaps looking for 1 Corinthians 10:31--
"Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

I've already got that one. It specifically mentions 'dance' and some other things.
Still thanks for trying Mangafanatic.

Psalms 149
1. Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Psalms 150
1. Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Any one of these?

Thanks Shao. Again I'm using some of those mentioned, but that's not the verse I mean.
Thankyou for your help.
God Bless!

I know the verse you're talking about, but I can't find it either right now. If I do find it, I will let you know right away.

These came to mind, but I'm not sure exactly the verse you're looking for:
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
2 Praise the LORD with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Psalm 33:1-3

First thing that came to my mind:
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. ~Ephesians 5: 19-20
Other verses that pertain to dancing and singing are mostly in Psalms.
As for the verse about doing mundane things, I'm not sure.
