Possibly when a dance is recited, a feel for the dance is piled upon a dancer and sets in becoming the life of the dance. Could the vedic scripture be a subliminal inert emotional chreography of a the life of a dance?

The dance's life is like an orb pulsating in some theather of the mind, coaxing movements out of the dancer's rhythm, like gestures and steps.

The dance here does not verify the stories and epics of the vedas, but is an abstract expression made by the dancer's conceptualization.

The conceptualization is a nebulously spontaneous move arising from the dancer's subconscious as refered to in the vedas as the shakti.

Dance in India was not merely an expression of an artist’s emotional mindset or imagination, but was meant to be an interpretation or conveyance of higher spiritual principles or pastimes of the Divine.In fact, in the Vedic pantheon Shiva is known as Nataraja, the king of dancers. Shiva’s dance was also not without a more significant purpose. His dance was based on the rhythm of cosmic energy that pervades the universe, and the destruction of the illusory energy by which all souls are given the opportunity for release from the illusion to attain liberation, moksha.

In this way, traditional Indian dance is highly spiritual and often accompanies important religious rituals and holy days and festivals. Vedic dance goes back to prehistoric times. Bharata Muni wrote his Natya Shastra, science of drama and dance, over 2000 years ago. In it he explains that it was Lord Brahma, the secondary engineer of the universal creation, who brought dance (natya) and drama to the people of Earth millions of years ago, shortly after the Earth was created.

Various schools of dance include Bharata Natyam, Kathakali, Manipuri, Orissi, Kathak, Mohini Atam, Krishna Atam, Bhagavata Mela, etc. Thus, we may have many dances that convey stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, or Krishna-lila from the Bhagavata Purana. Nowadays this ancient art of Indian dance is enjoying a wide audience and a prominent place on the international stage.

So, as we can see, Vedic culture and its many areas of knowledge and devotional expression are still as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. And humanity can benefit from it by introspection and in spiritual as well as material development as it did in the past.

The power of the Dharma and the relevancy of Vedic culture are found in the number of tools it has always provided in order for humanity to reach its fullest potentials, both as individuals who are searching for their own fulfillment and spiritual awakening, and as a society that can function in harmony with nature and cooperation amongst themselves.

By investigating the knowledge and viewpoints in the many topics found in the Vedic tradition we can certainly see that the practice and utilization of this Vedic knowledge can indeed assist us in many ways. Let us take a look at a few.-

I think i understand what you're trying to ask here. Vedic scriptures are not 'a style subscript for dance'. Dance, Bharathanatyam, Kathakali and the like, en-act the stories of Gods and Goddesses. Very much like, ballet. It's a dance performed by the dancers to en-act the story. Wherein, it is the same with the all the different types of dances that have originated in India. It would really help to know, which vedic scripture gave you this insight. Please do add more details, some people might take offense when they don't understand what it is that you're asking.

Understand that the potential of any given thing is applicable to any other in its own reflection of it. So, yes it may play that way, similar to how the dream world is ever present, but only noticed when consciousness of this one is lost.

It is possible to enjoin several of the realms of distinction in the conscious mind, because the soul of man is capable of mirroring Brahma within the range of the conscious state. If the Scripture is apparent to the reciter as visual-emotional dance then it is merely a connection of these two potentials harmonized naturally by the One essentially indivisible reality, which in Hindu Scripture is often called Bahama, by means of the dissolution of Maya, the measure between the two worlds of Prakti, and prakti, at a specific state of response...

This, in other words is all resultant of the natural relation of the mind's current state, to the Unlimited, and it's not anything but another appearance of Maya and not the desired goal of the Vedas, and Upanishads etc.. which is always the all-knowing, but that does not do away with this particular wonder, and it deserves its acceptance, but I would not put it higher in importance to the "world" Lord Krishna has spoken of as preferred.

In all things use them so long as they do not hinder you from advance, but if they hinder, then they have become a source of irreligion, and entanglement in Maya.

Blessing, I hope this was what was the desired understanding.
