"Widely practiced in ancient times during such major events of life as initiations, puberty, marriage, and burial, sacred dances frequently served as emotional outlets for the performers. They were also a means of communicating with deities or the dead, securing a good harvest, and an integral part of many other rites and ceremonies important to man in ages past." --BOOK JACKET.
