{"product_id":"sole-to-soul-a-sacred-dance-journey","title":"Sole to Soul: A Sacred Dance Journey","description":"Sole to Soul: A Sacred Dance Journey is part memoire and part guidebook to the use of movement in liturgy and concert work. For over 30 years, the authors, Kathryn E. Mihelick and Andrea Shearer, have choreographed, performed and conducted sacred dance workshops across the country and around the globe. They share the experiences of their Leaven Dance Company introducing sacred dance to people in churches, theatres, mental health centers, educational institutions and even prisons, relating the observations—and sometimes resistance—of church leaders, congregations, audience members, and dancers. A brief history of sacred dance dispels the myth that its use in churches is a radical new idea and while a variety of approaches to creating a dance choir is offered, they stress that movement can and should offer people as deep a spiritual connection as does music, visual art and drama in sacred settings.Sharing the lessons learned, they offer advice to others interested in exploring the use of sacred dance in worship, including extensive and detailed guidelines or “norms” for religious authorities to consider in creating a structure for the implementation and supervision of dance in worship. While the book contains examples of choreography and workshop experiences, it is not so much an instruction manual as it is a springboard for inspiration.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1798848791\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1798848791.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mihelick, Kathryn E.|Shearer, Andrea Tecza\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43100505014333,"sku":"BVV.1798848791.VG","price":14.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1798848791-0.jpg?v=1775943379","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/sole-to-soul-a-sacred-dance-journey","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
