Dance in churches Sacred Dance and services with dance and movement are reasonably new
phenomena. Tatjana K. Schnütgen examines the relationship between dance aesthetics and
spirituality. By means of field research and empirical methodology the aesthetic experience of
dance in spiritual practices can be described. Dance is understood as challenge and chance for
contemporary Church. She raises the question on the effect and implications of dance for faith
and life from the perspective of Practical Theology.
