As for snake dances, have you ever seen a Shaker service? Neither have I; a church that is agin sexual intercourse doesn’t last. But dancing to the glory of God has a long history. It doesn’t have to be artistic—the Shakers could never have made the Bolshoi—it merely has to be enthusiastic. Do you find Indian Rain Dances irreverent?” “That’s different.”
We hear examples of religious dances in the Bible. There’s a scene where King David’s wife objects to him dancing and she is struck down for bad values.
