This book was released on 1849 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken from a sermon delivered 17 June 1849, Palmerʼs book is typical of midnineteenth-century antidance literature. He declares that the seventeen references to dance in the Bible are all performed by one sex, in open fields, and in broad daylight. This, Palmer (1818-1902) concludes, is not the case with balls, in which the sexes dance together, in closed quarters, and at night. The author declares that human nature is "fallen and depraved, and subject to the domination of wicked passions," therefore, attending balls is promiscuous, demoralizing, and inconsistent with baptismal vows.

Book excerpt: "In the first sermon, Palmer bends his oratorical powers to show that dancing is inconsistent with baptismal vows and that dancers have no place in the communion of the church. Dancing is a practice that promotes many things contrary to the Christian faith and ought not be tolerated. In the second sermon, Mesick sets forth several of the evils which are associated with the dance. These, he shows, are not simply adjuncts but necessarily follow upon the practice itself. Finally, in the last essay, Dabney destroys any vestige of pro-dance argument from Scripture and advocates the exercise of church discipline against those who engage in such immorality."--Publisher description.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Dancing Inconsistent With a Christian Profession and Baptismal Vows: A Sermon, Preached in the Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C., June 17, 1849 To the Members of the First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C. Beloved brethren: The following Discourse, delivered in your hearing a few Sabbaths since, is now submitted to your perusal at the earnest and united request of the Church Session. I desire here to record publicly my thanksgiving to God that the sentiments herein advanced have met your almost universal approval. Thus havei been saved from my fears; as the Sermon was preached with much weakness and trembling. _in this I rejoice the more, as it gives assurance that, so far as vain pleasures are concerned, you will strive in your behaviour to put a visible difference between those that belong unto the Church and the rest of the world aiming to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present evil world, and making no provision to the flesh to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Download or read book Adversaries of Dance written by Ann Louise Wagner and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether in the private parlor, public hall, commercial "dance palace," or sleazy dive, dance has long been opposed by those who viewed it as immoral--more precisely as being a danger to the purity of those who practiced it, particularly women. In Adversaries of Dance, Ann Wagner presents a major study of opposition to dance over a period of four centuries in what is now the United States. Wagner bases her work on the thesis that the tradition of opposition to dance "derived from white, male, Protestant clergy and evangelists who argued from a narrow and selective interpretation of biblical passages," and that the opposition thrived when denominational dogma held greater power over people's lives and when women's social roles were strictly limited. Central to Wagner's work, which will be welcomed by scholars of both religion and dance, are issues of gender, race, and socioeconomic status. "There are no other works that even begin to approach this definitive accomplishment." --Amanda Porterfield, author of Female Piety in Puritan New England

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance, Human Rights, and Social Justice: Dignity in Motion presents a wide-ranging compilation of essays, spanning more than 15 countries. Organized in four parts, the articles examine the regulation and exploitation of dancers and dance activity by government and authoritative groups, including abusive treatment of dancers within the dance profession; choreography involving human rights as a central theme; the engagement of dance as a means of healing victims of human rights abuses; and national and local social/political movements in which dance plays a powerful role in helping people fight oppression. These groundbreaking papers_both detailed scholarship and riveting personal accounts_encompass a broad spectrum of issues, from slavery and the Holocaust to the Bosnian and Rwandan genocides to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; from First Amendment cases and the AIDS epidemic to discrimination resulting from age, gender, race, and disability. A range of academics, choreographers, dancers, and dance/movement therapists draw connections between refugee camp, courtroom, theater, rehearsal studio, and university classroom.

Download or read book The Wicked Waltz and Other Scandalous Dances written by Mark Knowles and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The waltz, perhaps the most beloved social dance of the 19th and early 20th centuries, once provoked outrage from religious leaders and other self-appointed arbiters of social morality. Decrying the corrupting influence of social dancing, they failed to suppress the popularity of the waltz or other dance crazes of the period, including the Charleston, the tango, and "animal dances" such as the Turkey Trot, Grizzly Bear, and Bunny Hug. This book investigates the development of these popular dances, considering in particular how their very existence as "taboo" cultural fads ultimately provided a catalyst for lasting social reform. In addition to examining the impact of the waltz and other scandalous dances on fashion, music, leisure, and social reform, the text describes the opposition to dance and the proliferation of literature on both sides.
