Dance was important in rituals, festivals and for entertainment from an early age. It helped to pass on stories before they were even written down. The "Dance Worlds" exhibition at the Bundeskunsthalle shows dance as a global form of expression.
The show is not about the history of dance, but about various interrelationships in cultural circles. Without any chronological order, it illuminates dance as an important part of our lives. Many dance forms and their connections to other arts are shown. The exhibits range from depictions of dance in early cultures to modern art and contemporary dance.
