And in reply to an earlier question, dance and song are excellent ways of learning, having been used to teach for millennia. But I'd be circumspect about what is being sung or danced. As we've seen here, spirituality in PDCs is a hot button. To me, a song about the mother goddess is no more appropriate for a PDC than is a song about our all being lambs of Jesus or children of Legba. Earth-centered spirituality is so much the water permies swim in that we can be blind to its presence.
I've had evangelical Christians, Muslims, and hasidic Jews in my classes point out how excluding some of our language is.Yes, not to mention atheists/agnostics who happen to be purely science-oriented.
