Yoruba/African tribe, Ancient Crete fertility rites and the Dionysian Cult Dance.

Explanation:

All of the cultures mentioned, in exception of the Christian circle, believe or believed that dances were capable of inducing a trance-like state in which the dancer may be possessed by a spirit or god. In the Ancient Greece culture, both the Dionysian cult and the Fertility rites involved dancing, drinking and entering in trance-like states. The Yoruba african tribe does as well, where music is very important.
