Authors

  • Ona B. Bessette, CND St. Jean Baptiste High School

Abstract

Renewal”physical, emotional, and spiritual”is a perennial concern of those in leadership. This article explores the medium of dance as one way to re-energize the spirit. Adopting an incarnational theology, the author articulates a spirituality that is rooted, as all things human must be, in the corporeal.
