    Bryce-
    Wow, I have to say, my research paper for this same class was nothing compared to this. What great insights and connections. I knew there was a reason I felt such a deep spiritual connection with dancing. Thank you for sharing this paper with us!

  2. I suppose your second point is the answer I had in mind when I asked the question.
    I was wondering if you concluded in your research that the dancing was inserted after apostasy from the true ordinances.
    Although I guess it is always plausible that different dispensations danced, or moved, in their prayer circles.

  3. D&C 25: 12
    12 For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads.

    It could be that this scripture has much to so with the idea of the prayer circle being a chorus. It states pretty clearly that the song of the righteous (temple recommend holders) is a “prayer” unto me. (a.k.a the prayer circle)

    Also…

    What do you think of the Muslim practice of praying in concentric circles around the Kaaba?

    I am truly happy that I have finally sat down and read this paper through. It has fed my mind and spirit. Thanks for posting, Bryce.
