DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book has a companion workbook - look for Dancing with Unity Workbook Dancing with Unity is based on true events. It is one woman's God-inspired quest to answer the questions: What can I do to make a difference in a world filled with racial hatred and violence? How can each of us, acting individually, change the world's perspective? The answers to these questions take us on a journey through the author's personal experiences of racism but also of unity. While sharing these true events, the reader is given meditations, prayers, and other concrete tasks that will help bring us closer to and finally unite us in our shared goals, interests, and desires with those who do not look like us. Through small unifying tasks our relationships with others deepen while racial boundaries and divisions blur and ultimately dissolve. The first steps toward global unity come down to small, simple acts each of which can give us a running start toward God's goal for humankind. Unity on Earth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExploring dance from the rural villages of Africa to the stages of Lincoln Center, Judith Lynne Hanna shows that it is as human to dance as it is to learn, to build, or to fight. Dance is human thought and feeling expressed through the body: it is at once organized physical movement, language, and a system of rules appropriate in different social situations. Hanna offers a theory of dance, drawing on work in anthropology, semiotics, sociology, communications, folklore, political science, religion, and psychology as well as the visual and performing arts. A new preface provides commentary on recent developments in dance research and an updated bibliography.
