In popular thought, Christianity is often figured as being opposed to dance. Throughout the medieval era, the Latin Church denounced and prohibited dancing, often aligning it with demonic intervention, lust, pride, and sacrilege. However, 'Ringleaders of Redemption' reveals how the historical sources - including biblical commentaries, sermons, saints' lives, ecclesiastical statutes, mystical treatises, vernacular literature, and iconography from France, Italy, Germany, England, Spain, and beyond - tell a different story.

Liturgical dance is a way to present, reflect, instruct, learn, study, and share religious beliefs with one's self, within one's worship community, and with one's God. Such a belief is confirmed and witnessed within a variety of religious settings throughout the world from the beginning of time to this present age. However, there is a vacuum of resources that connect liturgical dance within the Christian context as a tool for religious learning within the field of religious education. With the continual rise of liturgical dance as an artistic form of expression, this book proposes that liturgical dance offers unique attributes conducive to the teaching and learning of faith and to faith formation. Kathleen S. Turner shows how liturgical dance is religious education in two very important ways: first, by addressing the power and potential liturgical dance has in nourishing the faith life of Christian congregants through means that are both educative and reflective; and second, by giving examples of how liturgical dance can be implemented as a religious-education tool within the teaching life of the church.

Christiana choreia è una chiave interpretativa delle forme e dei modi con cui gli intellettuali cristiani, dall’Antichità alle soglie del Medioevo, hanno percepito e tentato di regolamentare la danza.Guidato da un’analisi di tipo storico-semantico e storico-culturale, questo libro offre, nelle prime pagine, una ricostruzione delle concezioni che i cristiani avevano ereditato dal mondo antico: in particolare le teorie platoniche relative alla choreia della Città ideale, il concetto di schema e il pregiudizio romano sul mestiere del danzatore, sempre marchiato dallo stigma di infamia.L’ipotesi di fondo è che si sia giunti alla formulazione di un’antropologia cristiana della gestualità coreutica che invitava gli uomini a diventare i perfetti imitatori di una choreia angelica come anticipazione della Città celeste: i corpi degli uomini erano strumenti musicali che, correttamente istruiti all’imitazione del moto degli angeli, avrebbero dovuto produrre all’unisono quella melodia armonica capace di arrivare direttamente a Dio. Christiana choreia era dunque uno strumento cognitivo che consentiva di disciplinare le forme, i tempi e i modi di appartenenza alla comunità cristiana.
