The history of life cycle of dance?
Dance has been part of nature from the resurgence of life itself. Dance has slowly and steadily evolved from mere expressions of joy and sorrow, to celebration of life, to exposition of rituals and belief systems, to evolution of human psyche. When I was virtually traversing through this dance hierarchy, it was the most humbling experience to realise the expressions of great minds that have soared higher than the mundane existence and recreated and represented subtle truths through their evocative expressions.
Dance once was just the simple venting of one's inner feelings which later became a medium of storytelling. It was an oral tradition unintentionally recording our history, culture and traditions. As human mind evolved, these expressions acquired new horizons and newer meanings, accentuating on theories of Rasa (aesthetics). It became a gratification for the senses and akin to enlightenment for the soul.
In Bharatavarsha or the Indian sub-continent, Creation itself is believed to be the cosmic dance of the Supreme Lord. There is a mythological story which highlights both the Shivatatva and Vishnutatva, or the essence of life, thus: Once Adishesha, the serpent, who coils himself to transform into Lord Vishnu's bed, is unable to bear the weight of Lord Vishnu. When the weight goes on increasing and when the pain is unbearable, Adishesha asks Lord Vishnu the reason for this sudden change. Vishnu says that it is due to the rise and fall of His breath. This rise and fall of Lord Vishnu's breath is the Dance of Lord Shiva. This formless dance of Shiva represents Creation inside Lord Vishnu, who is the embodiment of Maya or illusion. Lord Vishnu is enjoying this dance of Lord Shiva inside him and thus Adishesha is unable to bear the weight of his Lord. Dance, thus is not just a means and end of entertainment to Bharatavarsha, it is an identity of existence, a celebration of life itself.

What do the high life dancers wear when dancing?
Well if you're talking about Ballet then they all wear pointe shoes.
They are the classic shoes you associate with Ballet but boy, do they
hurt! The pointe shoes require you to dance on your tippy toes and
if under age children ( aged up until at least 12 years old) try to use
pointe it can lead to damage of the foot, the best example being
Cheryl Cole, who had gone onto pointe too early which caused her
to damage her feet and had to get an operation before being able to
wear high heels. But pointe shoes aren't all bad. They look great and
if used right, cause no injuries.
