History
Liturgical dance in Christian worship became more prevalent in the United States of America during the sexual revolution of the 1960's and 1970's. The practice developed as a part of liberal Christianity, and conforming the Holy Mass as a more relaxed and homecoming athmosphere. As a term, it is often controversial: while some groups disapprove of dancing in liturgy due to the lack of piety, while others perceive it as a form of physical "Christian body worship".
