Here is the wonderful dance scene from the 1951 Jean Renoir movie The River, which was filmed in India. I've never forgotten the dance, or the movie, and I'm glad to have found this video on You Tube.

Fun Fact: Just watching dancing, so called "dance viewing" apparently stimulates activity in the areas of the brain responsible for whole body movement in addition to eliciting other neuropsycholigical benefits.
Early studies using neuroimaging techniques are discussed, and comparisons are drawn with recent studies in neuroaesthetics. Findings from these studies suggest that brain scientists can learn from dancers and dance spectators about actionperception coupling and the integration of movement, cognition, and emotion. Conclusions are drawn regarding how dancing, and dance viewing, stimulates the parts of our brains that are involved in whole-body motor action as well as social, communicative, and creative tasks, and can elicit positive emotional reactions, contributing to wellbeing.
