1 Do your research

Before you travel to a destination where dance and movement are prominent, do some research on the history, meaning, and etiquette of the local traditions. You can read books, articles, blogs, or watch videos to learn more about the origins, influences, and variations of the dances. You can also find out if there are any cultural norms or rules that you should follow when watching or joining a dance, such as what to wear, how to behave, or how to interact with the performers or the audience.

When traveling, research local dance and movement traditions beforehand. Attend performances, workshops, or classes to learn about their significance and techniques. Respect cultural norms by dressing appropriately and following etiquette during events. Engage respectfully with local dancers and instructors, showing appreciation for their expertise. Avoid appropriation by refraining from imitating dances without understanding their cultural context. Support local artists and communities by attending events and purchasing handmade crafts or recordings.

2 Ask for permission

If you want to watch or join a local dance or movement activity, always ask for permission first. Some dances may be sacred, ceremonial, or private, and not meant for outsiders or tourists. Others may be open to visitors, but require a fee, a donation, or a registration. You can ask a local guide, a host, or a cultural expert for advice on how to approach and access the dance or movement opportunities. Be polite and respectful, and accept the answer gracefully. Do not take photos or videos without consent.

3 Follow the lead

If you are invited or allowed to watch or join a local dance or movement activity, follow the lead of the locals. Observe their gestures, movements, and expressions, and try to mimic them as best as you can. Do not improvise, add your own flair, or show off your skills. You are there to learn and appreciate, not to compete or impress. Pay attention to the cues, signals, and feedback from the performers or the instructors, and adjust your actions accordingly. If you are unsure or confused, ask for clarification or assistance.

4 Appreciate the diversity

Dance and movement traditions are not static or monolithic. They are dynamic and diverse, reflecting the changes and influences of different times, places, and people. As a traveler, you may encounter different styles, forms, and interpretations of the same dance or movement tradition, depending on where you go and who you meet. Appreciate the diversity and complexity of the local dance and movement culture, and avoid making generalizations or comparisons. Recognize that each dance or movement has its own history, context, and meaning.

5 Express your gratitude

After watching or joining a local dance or movement activity, express your gratitude to the performers, the instructors, the hosts, or the organizers. You can say thank you, clap, cheer, or give a compliment. You can also show your appreciation by making a donation, buying a souvenir, or leaving a positive review. You can also share your experience with others, but be respectful and accurate in your descriptions and representations. Do not appropriate, exoticize, or stereotype the local dance and movement traditions.
