I don't think there ever was a time when women were the supreme force for goodness in the world, but given the mystery associated with any dance form that has been around for a long time, and is danced mainly by women, I suppose it makes sense to some to raise it to a 'higher level' to suit their need to deify women.
Frankly I think it has more to do with superstition and wishful thinking than any validated historical truths - but then I am someone who likes to dance because it is beautiful and not have it jumbled up with new age crystal-gazing smells and bells nonsense!
