A choral dance: an attempt to impose upon a chance gathering of a few dozen guests a communal feeling.
Curt SachsIn the earliest cultures any tie between the dancers is slight. In a higher level the choral dancers almost always touch one another and thus force themselves into the same stride and the same movement. The closer the contact, the stronger is the social character of the choral.
