Dance is one of the artistic expressions of an individual. There are various types of dance forms and these vary with the different regions of the world. Dance is used to tell stories or explore myths and legends. It is also a reflection of the culture of the people living in a particular region. With the eventual mix of cultures over time we now see a fusion of different dance forms.
Dance is sometimes a spontaneous expression of happiness- we often ‘dance with joy’. It is sometimes a manifestation of disease. A good example is St. Vitus’ Dance- a form of rheumatic chorea.
The propensity or love or desire for dancing and even aversion to dancing could be a clue that a patient gives to the homeopath and guides him to the correct medicine.
