The dance circle in primordial times was the original ritualized sacred space, and dance was the original ritual liturgy.  Dance is an expression of humanity.

Anybody who has ever been an altar boy - especially back in the day - knows and understands that the liturgy of the Mass is highly choreographed, with solemn music, all done in elaborate medieval costume.

The celibate clerics just get really nervous whenever women dancers start moving their lovely lady parts all around the sanctuary - from where priests have expelled females for the better part of two millennia: no lady stink on us!  Nobody likes to be upstaged, and that certainly includes our liturgically challenged priests.

Our current pastors at Newman Hall UCB have stupidly dropped our liturgical dancers for the Holy Week celebrations resulting in a real dimming of the solemnity of the celebration of these feast days.  Then, as like most clerics, these priests begin to wonder why "lay people" are voting with their feet.
