This is why liturgical dancing

This is why liturgical dancing is forbidden in the Western world.

I had to explain this to my choir one time and got lots of surprised looks. I said, "Liturgical Dancing is forbidden in the Western World." *GASP* Forbidden? It can't be FORBIDDEN?? How about discouraged? Could it be frowned upon now, and then a little tacky depending on execution, but after Vatican III can happen every week?

Ok only a couple of people sort of reacted that way. I went on to explain the reason, which is crystal clear in the link above: Americans associate dancing with all manner of sexual immorality.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
