A Favorite Author Among Teen Girls

Most young women yearn to be chosen, to be called out from the crowd and loved for who they are. In The Divine Dance, Shannon Kubiak Primicerio acknowledges this desire and likens teen girls to dancers, constantly performing to please the "audiences" in their lives. But in family, peers, teachers, and others, young women forget that they were created to perform for God alone. Promicerio provides readers with guidance and encouragement to stop dancing for the world and to start dancing for an audience of One.

From the Back Cover

STOP DANCING FOR THE WORLD'S APPLAUSE AND
Step into God's Studio

We want to be liked--that's why we put so much energy into pleasing others. Life has become a dance that we perform for ohers, auditioning for a place in the hearts of everyone we meet. We put our energy into performances to please our parents, friends, teachers, boys--even people we don't know. It's simple: We all desire to be loved and accepted.

But in this busy, complicated world, we should be dancing as we were designed to--for the One who really cares. When the audiences are gone and we take off our masks, that's the part the Director likes best. Away from the alluring lights and demanding crowds, we can know ourselves and God in a powerful, meaningful way. When we realize that the One who matters already loves us, we will flourish in this life that is the Divine Dance.

I bought this book for my daughter. She was having issues with self esteem and acceptance. This book opened her eyes to the fact that our behavior should be pleasing to God and not to the world. She is now understanding that even when it is hard we have to stand. Sometimes we lose so called friends along the way but we are truly better for it. I am so thankful I found this book. It was truly a blessing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great devotional for Dancers or Performers!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2014
I am a dance teacher at a Christian studio and this book caught my eye as a possibility for devotions for the kids.
We have one chapter left and we have been reading about half a chapter each week at the beginning of a ballet class that has 11-18 year olds in it. I've skipped a few lines or paragraphs to make it appropriate for the 11 year old, but so far it has been awesome.
The dance analogies, especially in the first chapter are beautifully written. The girls have literally sat silent just listening glued to the book. But then at the end of each chapter are great discussion questions. We have had some awesome discussions and the kids have opened up about their lives as well as are really getting a solid foundation for how to follow God in this world.
This book has been so wonderful for these dancers because the book uses things like wearing masks or costumes as analogies for masks we put on in life. It talks about performing for an audience of one and as dancers again...fantastic analogies. Each chapter has a dance analogy that applies to regular life as well as can be used as dancing for God...if that makes sense...
I LOVE this book and would highly recommend it for any teen or even young adult who is in dance or theatre especially. The analogies will really hit home, its beautifully written, and it's SO relevant to teenagers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who are you performing for?
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2009
This book would make a great gift for any young woman, but especially those that are into performing through dance, song, theatre, etc.- it calls the reader to realize that we are performers for an audience of one- God- and that in the end, our attention must turn toward Him in order for us to be truly fulfilled. The author discusses how young women are constantly looking to others for attention and affection- everyone always wants to put their best foot forward, but she delves into the beauty of a life free of the pressures of others pulling on you from every direction- free to dance for your Creator. Rather than being focused on earthly trophies, our eyes should seek heavenly ones: this book will be a beautiful addition to any library, but particularly to the library of someone who loves to perform, but desires to serve God with her whole heart.

My 15 year old daughter loved this book! - She hardly put it down, took notes and has now lent it to a friend. My daughter is a dancer and could really relate to the book - well done to the author!
