Learning to dance

Found in my Oden reading this week:
Learning to study God is like learning to dance; it cannot be done merely by reading books. One cannot dance without practice, without allowing the muscles to move and the neural synapses to respond. To learn to dance one must dance, even if badly. Good theology is more than a tome or a string of good sentences. It is a way of dancing, an embodied activity of the human spirit in a community embodying life in Christ (361).

Agree? Disagree? Any thoughts?

Perhaps you should have tried hip-hop dance. Maybe ballet. Or salsa.
