A short spoken segment from a YouTube video ('Dance is in our DNA' by Misty Tripoli) arguing that communal dance has been central in tribal societies for thousands of years — used to celebrate, mourn, pray, and unify people — and that the modern loss of widespread communal dancing harms mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
We danced as tribes for thousands, thousands of years. That's how we came together as people. And we danced to celebrate. We danced to mourn, we danced to pray. We danced for celebration. We danced for everything as a tribe, everyone uniting together. And there weren't people that sat out because they felt stupid. Like, are you kidding me? Everybody participated, and everyone danced their way, even though they were all united, they were united in the rhythm of the drums. Was a group community thing. And that is something that is missing from most societies, which is detrimental to our mental, emotional and spiritual health.
