Description: This short antidance pamphlet argues that dance is wicked because it leads the mind away from spiritual thoughts. The unknown author warns that all dance, including that mentioned in the Scriptures, is inherently evil. The work asks its readers to consider, "Would you be willing to go from the ball chamber to the judgement seat of Christ?"
