It's funny how people criticize the MEF for not allowing sufficient lay participation in the Mass. And yet, here, the "audience" sits and gawks speechless at the stage for whole portions of the "Mass".

Gotta give em at least some credit for using the Duruflé setting of the Ubi Caritas. That is certainly an unexpected choice.

Yaaaaaay cultural appropriation!   It's not only a liturgical abuse, but it's offensive to some non-Western cultures. Double-whammy of not good. 

 

The "Zaire Use" rite actually does include liturgical dance.  But that's because dance is a form of worship in a lot of cultures in Africa.

The overall integrity of the Roman Rite seems to be in state of general collapse.  Below is a video of solemn mass as it is celebrated at the Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida in Brazil.

At least they're wearing clothes. I saw one once who was dancing around in a sheer dress thing.

It does seem that liturgical dancers like to wear very sheer clothes. Much of what is worn is not appropriate for the divine liturgy.

This wasn't appropriate for a rock concert.
