Liturgical dance is a favorite pet peeve of mine. I'm a sometime folk dancer (former competitive dancer) and daughter of a professional contemporary dancer and choreographer.

I know what dancers are supposed to look like, and these "liturgical dancers" aren't it!

The problem with these folks is that they could never get a real gig. They not only aren't good enough, they aren't even within shouting distance of good. So they go to church and inflict their horrible travesties on folks there . . . mostly because the sillies who let them do it don't know anything about dance.

Of course, it's also not appropriate for Mass . . . but the icing on the cake for me is that it would be awful wherever it happened to be.
