This pre-linguistic action, which is ‘the dance that we are,’ (Best, 1999, 116) is a natural and primitive reaction to events, experience and life. Gestures and movements therefore, Best (1999) argues, are the root of all human concepts. Dance, or my own position on it, is rooted in movement, gesture, action and body communication. Thus it is the closest art form to being human and to understanding humanism (Best, 1999).
