Shannon agrees by stating that what arouses the sense of ritual and conviviality in a dance lies in the sacredness and camaraderie of symbols like costume and makeup, because these important symbols are often: activated by certain practices releasing the energy within them for healing, insight and spiritual growth... traditional dances once served as ritual practices to facilitate this activation, and that the body of dances and related customs constitutes a mystery school which consciously transmits certain information and specific threads of ancient wisdom.	cache/ajrma-4194.pdf	txt/ajrma-4194.txt
