Hello again ;

Hello again people, im gonna tell you today about how dance evolved from rituals.
As you know dancing as been around for thousands of years and can even be dated back to cavemen! Off course this wasn't the hip-hop or funk .. Im talking about rituals! when tribes used to dance to purify their souls or accompaning the right of passage. In most ancient civilisatons dancing infront of the gods was just importent as any other temple ritual.

In Egypt the priests and priestesses, accompanied by harps and pipes, They would perform movements and mim significent events in the story of God. They would also imitate cosmic patterns such as the rythm of night & day. At Egyptian funerals women would dance to express their affection for the mourners.
