In other words, the why of the festival – in terms of its sociocultural context, determines the what – in terms of the form of the activities that take place.
African Dance, as an avenue of expression closely related to the themes and purposes of a particular occasion, is, in effect, context determined. – Nicholls p. 47 (African Dance – Textbook)

Please provide an example of an African Dance from the Nicholls chapter, what takes place and how that explains the world view of those people.
