SACRED DANCE

My brief forays into SACRED DANCES and its companion SACRED MUSIC have led me to several conclusions that I wish to share on this blog. Let me say at the very outset I am not an expert in such or on such, despite what some might think or suggest. For one thing, I have the proverbial 'two left feet','can't carry a tune in a bucket' or play a musical instrument or read music, so I am musically and dance handicapped....Listen and Watch might be a better description of my abilities. Nevertheless, SACRED DANCE is as old as man, in the form we know him to be, and probably was prior to this form by more ancient ones. What the future forms of man, if any, will bring, one can only surmise given history thus far. Regardless, THE UNIVERSE,THE COSMOS, GREAT NATURE, and the Human Body all 'dance' and 'sing' in some way, usually not acknowledged or recognized by the various 'intellectuals' and 'academics' and otehrs with axes to grind. In fact, both Sacred Dance and Sacred Music have been and still are seen as 'threats' to society,national security, 'proper' behavior and cultural purity among other 'ideals'.
