Indian dances, music and yoga through the ages achieved distinct deep effects on both the mind and body.
Both dances derive from Shinto music which itinerant priests have handed down through the ages.

I also love the Polish music and used to go to many of the dances in clubs all over New York and New England.

Some dancers contrast the dances by saying that the Whip uses the body and arms to work more with the music while West Coast Swing uses the feet more.

Events include a band concert featuring military music and two USO style Big Band Dances in the ballroom of the Natural Bridge Hotel.
Students are taught the historical and cultural significance of the music and are given a rare opportunity to meet some of the musicians and dancers who have played significant roles in shaping traditional music and who have either composed new rhythms and dances or have heavily influenced the music being played today.
RAPPER dances are often performed before audiences of folk dancers that treat the dance as music enthusiasts treat a symphony - in respectful silence.

Music, dances and drama are very often intertwined such as the ludruk transvestitetheatre of East Java and the Lenong folk theatre of Jakarta, both known also for their slapstick humour and early Shakespearean simplicity on theri stage settings.
The frivolity lies in the nature of the music which takes the form of a set of twentieth century dances of the kind used in dance halls and also used as the basis for performance acts in vaudeville and later in film musicals.
My love of these simple dances and the beautiful music keeps me connected to my spiritual being as I celebrate the sacred within myself and with each other.
