Are all dances immodest? Or just some? I think the cure de ares said all, but the church has said some cultural dances are fines. Doesn't scripture mentioned dancing as well. Also what's about the married couple on their wedding?
"A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
[Ecclesiastes 3:4]
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.
[Jeremias (Jeremiah) 31:13]
The link attached below is a brief treatise written by the Protonotary Apostolic Don Luigi Sartori, addressing your concerns. In it, he explains the origins of modern (by which we mean 19th and 20th century_ dances, and why Christians should not participate in them. Your cultural dances are a modern invention spread across Europe in the wake of the French Revolution. Besides the writings of the Protonotary Apostolic, there were countless other condemnations of such dances (by which we mean the events and the particular manners of dance) on a diocesan level. I would write more, but that would merit its own thread.
