DasR - I take issue on many things in the above post by you.

1. Dancing is NOT haram. It is considered a wonderful art form with divine aspects.One of the most famous forms Lord Shiva is worshipped in is in the divine dance. Bharatnatyam is a classical form and is not suggestive as you may have seen in movies

2. Religious edicts have to be subservient to a nation’s law if humanity is to survive. India has many religions with different and sometime contradictory practices. The nation’s law is the arbiter, to avoid chaos. Culture is similar.

Unless all of humanity beomes part of one religion, it is not possible to support your claims. Even within islam there are many different practices and beliefs that contradict. By being bullheaded and enforcing one view on all is what has led to the horrible violence in the muslim world

Cur, First of all, the question I am going to ask you is in no way derogative nor meant to shock you into believeing what I believe…I mean no offense and I hope you won’t take it…

Second, mods, this is not a personal question but my response will depend upon the answer, so please do not remove it…It’s a general question…

Cur, since you believe dancing is such an art form, such a divine passion, such graceful exhortation of the body and mind e.t.c. e.t.c…

My question to you is: Would you be comfortable if your mother was a skilled dancer and was surrounded by strange men, would you be comfortable with her jumping and going through the motions of dancing in front of those strange men while they stare at her?
