Dance has always been a part of human life. In fact, life can be described as a continuous dance wherein we make a lot of steps and encounter many partners. And if life is a dance then the world has become a stage for us as we move and experience dancing with God, the Divine Creator and mover of Life. This leads us to conclude that dance is not just something secular, a way to entertain and be entertained. It is, above all, an expression of our being, a means to relate to God, an articulation of our praise, joy and prayer. Thus, it has been an integral part of celebrations and rituals, a means of communication with the gods and among humans, and a basic source of enjoyment and beauty.
