History and Doctrines of the Ajivikas: A Vanished Indian Religion c14.s6.9

From these indications we infer that singing and dancing played an important part in Ājīvika religious practice. Possibly the Ājīvikas, in their Ājīviya-sabhā, held meetings for ecstatic religious singing and dancing, such as to-day held by such sects as the Caitanyas. This at least seems the most probable interpretation of these obscure passages.
