Circle dance as prayer

Not all dance is thought of as performance.

For instance when a simple set of steps are used in circle dance, and used in worship together with a piece of unaccompanied sung Taizé music such as O Lord Hear my Prayer, the steps can be paused at the end of a verse for parts of a prayer to be interjected before carrying on the movement. Used in this way the dance also becomes the prayer.
