group in(ter)action

today at my african dance class we were studying dances that people do at wedding and birthday celebrations in Zimbabwe. as my teacher was explaining the different backgrounds to the dances, i started to feel a little sad. in this culture of independence and the individual, i think we've forgotten the importance of group activity. there is something really special about groups engaged in harmonious movement. i believe energy created my those involved creates a link/bond. togetherness is definitely lacking in my society. i'm not suggesting that don't have group interaction - team sports and dance floors are easy examples. what i am suggesting is that we don't have a cultural/national 'dance', a cultural/national space where we come together and move, where we build an energy, grow, and move on. it's too bad.
does line dancing count?
