Let's Face the Music and Liturgical Dance (17)

Well we've had a full and fulfilling afternoon, in our Liturgical Dance workshop. Perry Koresis really is a marvelous instructor.

Of course we ran into the usual array of problems whenever you try to introduce dance into worship. Drayton Parslow called round to call it an offence unto the nostrils of the Lord. Well fair enough, it was quite intense and some of the Beaker Folk Dancers did get rather sweaty.

And some of the men complained quite bitterly about being expected to wave the ribbons round their heads in the "Rhythmic Gymnastics" part of the workshop. But Hnaef enjoyed it. Rather too much, in my opinion. But still, he was a great example to the others.

But a word to the wise. When someone declares, as Marston did, that they are going to "dance as David danced" just remember how exactly it was that David danced. Some of the older female Beaker Folk needed the administration of strong, sweet tea. And I've told Charlii to get the photos off Facebook immediately.
