 Beyond the practical
This work itself dances beyond the expected. The book is a heartfelt tribute to the power of dance in our sacred lives. It is not only a practical guide for the physical expression of spirituality within many traditions - conventional and new age - but is also a rich offering of historical perspective to further our appreciation and understanding of sacred dance.
learn from an expert!
At the recent Sacred Dance Guild Lakeshore Chapter conference, Dancing the Light, I attended Deena's workshop based on Chapter 5 of her book, "Getting Started." It was excellent and so is the book. Deena shares her eighteen years of dancing in churches with us so that we might benefit from her experience. I particularly liked the idea of a mission statement for a liturgical dance group.
The book is a wonderful combination of personal testimony, historical and scriptural context, and practical tips and choreography. Especially noteworthy is the brief history of liturgical dance summed up in two columns spanning the centuries: one for those who "favor dance" and one for those who "oppose dance." This is a continuing debate . . .
If you're interested in starting a liturgical dance group or need tips for your current group, you'll find this book, written from Deena's perspective as a seminary-trained Lutheran and a ballet-trained dancer, a useful and inspiring read.
