The environment, the surrounding nature and the myths all have a powerful influence over the choreography.

Pantomimes that imitate animals are common, as is the use of zoomorphic symbolism. Similarly, the cosmogonic cycles determine the predominance of beliefs on lunar and solar periods, with dances representing the harvest, fishing and hunting being particularly important.

The vast majority of native dances also have a magical and religious component that take you away on an experience of total discovery.
