DANCE IN HORROR
In different cultures dance and music was (and still is) appropriate way to negotiate with gods. Music and dances have been a part of religious festivals, births, deaths, marriage ceremonies, and other festivities. Midsommar (2019).
Ritual dances can be performed individually or collectively, in traditional dresses, along with their own songs. Wicker Man (1973.)
Trance, on the other hand, was often the prerogative of holy men. The Believers (1987).
God’s death and rebirth are also associated with fertility rituals such as maypole dance. Ritual is used to eliminate things that threaten the world order, such as sickness, the order is restored. Angel Heart (1987).
In Europe the development of art dance began to form first in ballet. The ballet was initially a very well-defined series of movements. It took a long time before the art dance could be expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself. Red Shoes (1948).
In the early days of Western art dance, ballet was disciplined and regulated and left very little room for self-expression. It was not until the turn of the 20th century that modern art dance took its first steps. Isadora Duncan danced barefoot, she was interested in Greek antiquity - for example The Furies. Suspiria (1977).
Before The World War II, modern dance was influenced by Mary Wigman and Rudolf Laban in particular. "Ausdruckstanz" meant that the primary function of dance was to give shape to emotions and inner experiences. The expression of personal feelings in dance was banned along with psychoanalysis and many dancers and psychoanalysts fled from Germany to America. Wigman and Pina Bausch have been mentioned as a model for the Madame Blanc in Suspiria (2018).
Mirroring & Reflecting are important in dance & Psychotherapy. In French, “être Médusé” means literally to be paralysed by stupefaction. Les médusées-group was a model for the Suspiria (2018).

It may be that the superego problem is also reflected in the body. Our bodies are like bound by curses. The madness, the melting superego, was seen in the Climax (2018).
Modern dance diversified in the 1980s. Non-European influences began to show more clearly. Dancing is increasingly being done in public places, not just in a dance theater. The content of the dance is important, not just distinctiveness. However, classics - like the Swan Lake ballet - have remained popular with the general public. (Haukinen et al. 1992.) Black Swan (2010).
The Witches (1966): Beneath everything controlled lies the primitive power of libido and aggression that threatens the order. Dancing is also a way to get to know different cultures. Flamenco, Latin dances, etc. For many, dance is an exercise and a way to take care of their health.

I'm 100% certain that you've never been trained in ballet. My bet is on jazz. Or modern dances in general.
And which evidence do you provide? What did you base your deduction assumption on?

I just wanna talk about something no one else will care about but me:
Two of some of my most favorite games in the universe use that red theater curtain up top.
This fact is very special to me because another one of my most favorite things in this universe was performing on a beautiful and grand stage when I was younger and still in dance -- every year. It had the most beautiful red curtain.
Performing on that stage, playing TTYD and reading TheNiflheim+ all make/made me so happy and hold a special place in my heart and they're all linked by this little detail 🥰. Idk, that probably made no sense, but these are my weird thoughts today.
