So there's a suppression of things like the Sundance or the kind of ghost dance movement.
And like it's like this problem with dance in particular.
That's something that's that's problematic for a number of different reasons.
Right.
So here in the letter that you talk about, it talks about how people are idle and they're not working and things like this because they're dancing.
But then in other kind of contexts, it's oh, it's dangerous or it stirs people up.
Why do you think there's this like in particular, this kind of strong response to dance in particular?
That's interesting.
And there's kind of a self-directedness in some sense to that as well, right?
In certain aspects of the Western tradition, it's like, this is something we're not supposed to do, right?
I mean, it seems like a kind of like,
implicit recognition of, of its power or its meaning.
Right.
Um, but then it's, it's, it's like beneath the surface, right?
Nobody kind of tackles it explicitly.
Right, right.
So one interesting thing in the final chapter, you talk about expression of truth through dancing, and in particular expression of truth through dancing and its connection to individual or communal experience and locality, which I thought was interesting, that notion of location.
Could you say a little bit more about how that works in particular with location, the expression of truth in that way?
And I think it's really important because a lot of times, as you mentioned, in the Western tradition, we tend to neglect our locatedness.
I mean, we're located as well.
