Ethnic Dancing: TOCs vs World Orthodoxy
I have never seen parishioners in the GOC-AB Kallinikos parishes do any Greek dancing or hold a parish Greek festival where Greek dancing is done out under the stars at night, so is traditional Greek or ethnic dancing forbidden in the TOCs? In World Orthodoxy, I know that Antiochian and Greek Orthod...

The Optina Elders were God-illumined and I am sure their words are true. Yes. Perhaps some dances were started with innocent intentions, :roll: but other dances seem far more insidious. The infamous dance, in which Herod was deceived and promised his step-daughter whatever she wanted, comes to mind...
