Dance and Islam

topic posted Sat, November 24, 2007 - 1:45 PM by  Laura
Hello Everyone,

My question regards dance and Islam. First and foremost, I hope I do not offend anyone...this is purely to gain knowledge in regards to dance, Islam, inter-cultural norms and transitions as well as transnationalism. In other words, how has feelings and beliefs concerning dance changed? How has it changed in regards to religion and changing times? How has it changed in regards to living in different countries? Etc. Specifically my questions are:

*How is dance viewed within Islam? (Historically? Today? In the future?)
*How is dance viewed in terms of women within Islam?
*Dance as transnational, trans-cultural discourse…your views?

There are no right or wrong answers so please feel free to explore this as I am doing the same. Thank you!

Blessings,
Laura
