RA-1022: LITURGICAL DANCE We pour the water of baptism; we break the bread; we bow and lift our arms in prayer. Through these minimal movements, we are already engaging in liturgical dance. Whether practiced by a soloist, dance choir or the entire assembly of worshippers, there is an art to making sacred dance an integral part of a religious service. An introduction to dance and liturgy, the course includes theory and practice, the use of gesture and movement in prayer, processions, celebratory dances and proclamation of the word. Students are evaluated by presentations and short reflection papers. Those electing to take 3 units prepare a more comprehensive project.
