Something Understood: The Dance of Life

Felicity Finch reflects on childhood ballet lessons, adult salsa classes and observations of dance-like movement in everyday life through the writings of Isadora Duncan and Rudolph Laban, Gunther Grass’ autobiography and Gabrielle Roth’s Sweat Your Prayers.  And she talks with Colin MacLean, a retired priest, who considers dance a form of prayer and intends to devote the rest of his life to dancing.
