YES!!! Dancing has been a huge part of many cultures in the world since time immemorial. For every occasion and emotion! My pet hypothesis is that it particularly fell out of favor in the west because of Christian influence and the mind-body split. Some peoples even dance in funerals as an expression of grief.
It’s coming back a bit now but though it’s slightly hindered by the associations with new ageism etc. but I really wish people didn’t let that stop them from trying it. It does have clear benefits. You can use any kind of music. You don’t have to know how to dance. Just move the body with whatever music you like.
I dance at least a little every day, even if I don’t feel like it. And I very purposefully dance to aggressive music when I’m angry because I have a temper, and I don’t want it get the better of me. It has worked really well.
