Faith and Dancing

Faith and Dancing (1996)

Faith and Dancing, Lois Weaver’s autobiographical journey from an early life growing up a strict Southern Baptist in 1950’s Virginia to lesbian femme in the 1990’s. In Weaver’s exploration, faith meets science and sermons meets striptease and she reconciles how a youthful evangelist became an aging exhibitionist.
