The author, Karen Andes , 12/18/97:
Dance can be a prayer
Women once used dance as a form of prayer--a way to embody the Divine.I
wrote this book because my soul craved this re-union--and I couldn't find
this in traditional, militaristic fitness moves. Dancing from the inside,
with rounded shapes that come naturally to women, is one way to heal the
collective wound of body self-loathing that has kept women down. As we heal,
we become radiant and we leave for our daughters, a legacy of love, not
shame.
