Assuming that much dance during neolithic times responded to hunt triumphs and/or sacred activities, how do we see this today in modern expressions, or has earliest dance inspirations disappeared altogether?

There is a dance called Paso Doble. It is one of the dances of competitive ballroom. The whole expression of this dance is Matador fighting with a bull or Matador waving the cape.
If you watch professional showcases of Samba you also see a lot of stuff that makes you think "hunting" and "wild animals".

Well I don't know but in San Francisco I had a young friend from Africa who when he drank would shake his booty in one's face. I believed that it was a tribal or religious practice or something. His religion was called Yoruba, and I understand they have many gods. I miss him; he was funny. Sad family situation in Africa though, and he may have returned. I doubt that the earliest dance inspiratuons have disappeared. People are still people.
