All cultures express themselves through music, but one people's soulful melody may be another's racket. (The bagpipes leap to mind.) Combine the tunes with a little booty shaking, though, and the sentiment is less likely to get lost in translation. Dance is an avenue for unspoken (and unspeakable) thoughts, a way to broach taboos and explore forbidden desires. Want to understand another culture more fully? Time your trip to annual dance festivals, seek out a local dance teacher, or just hit the local dance scene to discover the wonderful nuances of the people and their beat. Your body will do the rest.
