To speak of movement as way of knowing implies that the way people move is as much a clue to who they are and what they speak. If I dance in a ballet with the movements and aesthetic appropriate to a Hula, I would immediately be recognized as not belonging. The way people move is more than biology, more than art, and more then entertainment. All movement must be considered as an embodiment of cultural knowledge, a kinesthetic equivalent, to using the local language, It is time to deal with movement in a culturally sensitive way and to give movement a more central place in the study of culture, and culture a more central place in the study of movement.
