In many parts of the world-including Polynesia, north Africa & the Middle East-public dancing that focused on a physically linked couple would have been unthinkable, a violation of communal propriety.

The circle, or ring, dance was seen as an earthly counterpart of the heavenly dance of the angels, which was itself a celebration of the resurrection.

The one unbreakable rule of couples dancing is that the partners must move inter dependently, as a unit.

The new kind of dancing meant liberation not only from the rules of leading and following but from rules of any kind.
