I was glad for the chance to do more thorough research on the issue. In typically Roman fashion, it tries to be strong when addressing the issue of dance in western culture. American folk dancing has little of the negative baggage of popular dance. The fact that mainstream American society often misunderstands or pokes fun at it underscores folk dancers' own witness of wholesomeness and healthiness to such dancing. The use of arm or bodily gestures is also quite common with young children in our public and private schools.
People also have extremely positive reactions to sign language interpreters in churches.
I don't think the picture of movement and dance in this country is nearly as problematic as some would suggest. Thanks for the challenge on dance, though. I was glad for the chance to do more thorough research on the issue.
