Description
I have been researching the topic of Christianity in dance through the Minnesota State University, Mankato dance minor program. Fall semester I researched the topic of Christianity and dance and wrote a paper discussing different areas of my interest in the topic. Such areas include the definition of Christian Sacred Dance, the history of Christianity in dance, symbolism used in Christianity that is also evident in dance, and Christian Biblical references to dance. During the spring semester, I am planning to continue my research by choreographing and participating in a Christian Sacred Dance. This piece of choreography will be an example of praise dance and will be performed by three female dancers, including myself. At this time, the music and exact title are undecided. During the presentation, I will discuss my research in the paper then perform the choreography, still a work in progress, with two other dancers.
