Why categorize? It would be like trying to categorize Bruce Lee.

If it must be said, once incident doesn’t invalidate the concept. Showy or flamboyant doesn’t equal powerful. Dance is the means by which martial skills are or were taught in many cultures. It doesn’t mean everyone learned.

Yes, G6loq, but they no doubt passed it on the same way they learned it. Through dance.

And yes it was through dancing that a man would show his virility. Because by definition a powerful war dancer was a powerful warrior... Makes me think of this short fight. Ah! Caporea, supposedly, derives from Brazilian African slaves disguising their martial training.

“Dancing is not an effeminate pursuit; in most cultures, au contraire. It’s one of the ways men show their bravery, daring, strength, virility, power, you name it. ”

Also it was a way to learn, and teach, martial skills.

Capoeira from Brazil is probably the most famous dance-like martial art. But in ancient cultures, and up into fairly recently in some places, war dances were how men learned to fight. The dances performed the same function as kata, or forms, in the Japanese martial arts.

And yes it was through dancing that a man would show his virility. Because by definition a powerful war dancer was a powerful warrior.

clarityseeker: Ballet is not egalitarian in the sense that the sexes are not treated the same. But in ballet, the woman most often ends up on top, as it were. Perhaps that curries favor with liberals. Also, there are some strains in ballet choreography (not just new ones; older ones as well) that are more egalitarian than others. Bournonville, for example. I further discuss that here.
