Only my extreme desire to appear Many of the ancient festivals, such as Dionysia, Bacchanalia, May Day, Saturnalia, Feast of Fools, and Carnival, encouraged people to dance until they reached a state of euphoria. Catholic clergy often condemned dancing and other for- bidden games in their churchyards during these festivals. (It seems that missionaries made a practice of building their churches over pagan altars, therefore during festivals people would naturally gather to these sites.) The Arab Sufis, or w hirling dervishes, Wiccans, American Indians, various African tribes, and the Sadhus of India all use dancing to induce a euphoric trance.
