Question

According to critic John Martin, "when American dance began to emerge, it embodied" which four characteristics of Puritanism?

Answer 1

Answer:

Individualism, anti-authoritarianism, democracy, functionalism

Explanation:

Dance is an important part of the traditional and cultural legacy of a people. Therefore, it can adopt various different forms and approaches based on the place where the practice develops. When American dance began to develop in the colonies, it embodied some of the cultural and social attributes of Puritans. For example, it focused on the individual, rather than the group. It was also democratic and anti-authoritarian, much like Puritan government. Finally, it was functionalist as it served a very particular purpose in this society.
