The dance
The dance
 A
big figurative documentation gives us many examples of dance. The graceful and
quick dancers, briefly dressed and covered with jewels, the who accompany the
musicians make us think about our classic and rhythmic dances, but there were
also acrobatic dances. The artists of the sound and of the dance are already
documented in Cheope’s court and increase in the feudal epoch, when the
provincial courts multiplied. In the New Reign even the private wealthy wanted
in their homes musicians and dancers, but it was mostly the ritual in the great
sanctuaries that required music and dances. They were performed by sacerdotal
orders, among them, became very important, for the high social position of its
members, the order of Amon’s Singers, assigned to the God’s gret temple in
Karnak. In a tomb of the Ancient Reign, a war dance is documented.
