Abstract

[2] They also contribute to the dynamic and overcharging phenomenon of culture. [...]psyche-physique, culture and dance forms are all closely linked. Emotions are being increasingly recognized as central to cultural meaning system, relationships and communication. Since children must be motivated to act in concordance with cultural values, it is important to incorporate, (1) meanings of the particular emotion words and the place of emotions in the structure and functioning of the self. Conceding to the request of Indra and the gods, Brahma extracted the textual material from Rig-Veda, music from Samaveda, histrionic representation from the Yajurveda and emotions from Atharvaveda. [...]the very reason dance came into existence was to promote mental health.
