Question: Is there any spiritual significance to dance as an art?
Sri Chinmoy: Dance is undoubtedly a form of art. Lord Shiva is the supreme Dancer. With his world-destroying dance which is called Tandava, he transforms and gives new life to the creation. In him the significance of dance reaches the highest height of art.
