Does dancing play an important role in a culture?
Elegance, beauty, charm, life... . when mixed together make
up the magic mantra DANCE. I agree to the statement that
dance plays a vital role in a culture.
Human has a diverse ways of making his culture exist in the world.
Culture of various countries is obviously different in many ways,
influenced by their past, life styles, and the habits. And man has
always been in the trial of propagating his culture to the world since
ages. And the best resource he could ever have is `dance`.
Dance of a particular country is specific and specialized according
to their culture and heritage. When we see the dance of a particular
nation, we happen to be enlightened with the knowledge of the type
of dance it is, to the nation it belongs and as a result we also come to
know the particular style of people`s dressing, hair styles etc.
More interesting part of dance has been the facial expressions which
becomes an amazing factor because it is again of a specific type.
When it comes to one of the traditional dance of India,
BHARATANATYAM, people can almost have a lots of
information regarding not only the type of life style existing there,
but also get to know the culture because often their dance depicts a
historical story or the song of the dance would be regarding the lord
they pray. And thereby, many fabulous incredible stories regarding,
say lord Shiva or more alluring the story of lord Krishna come into
existence letting people know about the past of the hidden heritage
and culture of India.
Dance is one such thing, be it American, African or Asian, becomes
a common source of knowledge and entertainment. And for people
who study history and make it up their career often choose dance to
be their best form of source.
Finally, I would like to say that dance in spite of being so diverse in
the world is actually a form of secularism bringing and holding the

whole world together with it`s threads of love and specific style of
culture.
