My research explores how fundamentalist Christian teachings, particularly purity culture, shape the relationship individuals, especially women, have with their bodies. Focusing on the intersection of religious doctrine and dance, I investigate how purity culture’s teachings of submission and control impact one's embodied experience. Through movement exploration and personal reflection, I examine how dance can provide a space for reclaiming agency, resisting restrictive teachings, and redefining the body as a site of autonomy and self-expression.
