Not crazy at all. Dancing, singing, music is part of just about every human culture. I'd even say dancing is a sort of fun communal therapy. Which makes total sense why its part of ceremony.
Note, Many people such as myself claim they don't dance. But secretly I "dance" (thrash about incoherently) around the when the music is going and no one is looking.
Are there any cultures WITHOUT dancing, singing, music? I'd find that astounding!

Ah, one of my people :-)
Thrashing about incoherently is just a sign that you’ve lost yourself in the music, and is exactly what you’re going for.
Berghain is a meme at this point, but fuck, I’ve never experienced anything like the communal trance that happens in there.
