The American Indians "Amerinds" danced because they told stories through it.
It was to them an entertaining way to pass on the tribes legends .Tribes were also very much into communicating with thy re ancestor spirits for many reasons. By dancing they manifested energy to use in magical ceremonies. This is the reason for many of the dances that have been forgotten or no longer practiced due to the boarding schools that prohibited the use of native language which in turn severed communication with the ancestor spirits .The ancestor spirits don't understand English They only understand the languages that they knew when they died , which would be their native tongue.
