This is particularly evident in the music, which ranges from indigenous township rave music, known as kwaito, to world-renowned African jazz by such legendary talents as Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba. Theatre, too, is alive and well, with sophisticated venues in each city presenting everything from the classics to homegrown drama, dance and comedy.

In addition to being comfortable, Sand's male dress enabled her to circulate more freely in Paris than most of her female contemporaries could. It gave her increased access to venues (meeting places) from which women were often barred -- even women of her social standing. Also scandalous was Sand's smoking tobacco in public. These and other behaviors were exceptional for a woman of the early and mid-19th century, when social codes were of the utmost importance. As a consequence of many untraditional aspects of her lifestyle, Sand was obliged (kohustatud) to relinquish (loovutama) some of the privileges appertaining (juurde kuuludes) to a baroness.

Since dance is often associated with the women’s body, female dancers, in some cases, have been regarded as distinct from decent women, because they use their bodies to make a living instead of hiding them as much as possible. While some cultures regard any dancing by women as the most shameful form of entertainment, other cultures have established venues such as strip clubs where deliberately erotic or sexually provocative dances are performed in public by professional women dancers for mostly male audiences. In history, various political regimes have sought to control or ban dancing or specific types of dancing. For example, during the Nazi regime, American dances such as swing, regarded as completely un-German, had become a public offense and needed to be banned.
