Can dance bring you to God?

From my previous post about religion and art being greatly connected, I wondered if it was possible to reach God through dance.  I was thinking if it were possible to actually experience God through dance.  van der Leeuw says that yes this is very possible.  "The dance becomes contemplative and reflects the highest form of movement, the movement of God." (page 29)  He this gives the idea that dance can be an outlet to be in touch with God, and one may practice dance as a religious ritual for the communication with God.
