Not all ethnic dances are folk dances.

Ritual dances are usually called "religious dances" because of their purpose. </p><p>The terms "ethnic" and "traditional" are used when it is required to emphasize the cultural roots of the dance. In this sense, nearly all folk dances are ethnic ones. If some dances, such as <a href="/wiki/Polka" title="Polka">polka</a>, cross ethnic boundaries and even cross the boundary between "folk" and "ballroom dance", ethnic differences are often considerable enough to mention.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Folk_dance&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><span><video id="mwe_player_1" poster="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv/220px--Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv.jpg" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="220" height="124" data-durationhint="24" data-mwtitle="Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons" resource="/wiki/File:Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/c6/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv.480p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="480p.vp9.webm" data-width="854" data-height="480" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv" type="video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/c6/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv.144p.mjpeg.mov" type="video/quicktime" data-transcodekey="144p.mjpeg.mov" data-width="256" data-height="144" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/c6/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv.240p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="240p.vp9.webm" data-width="426" data-height="240" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/c6/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv.360p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="360p.vp9.webm" data-width="640" data-height="360" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/c6/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv/Traditional_dancers_and_performance_during_the_Pulljay_festivities_in_Tarabuco.ogv.360p.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"" data-transcodekey="360p.webm" data-width="640" data-height="360" /></video></span><figcaption>Traditional dancers and performance during the Pulljay festivities in Tarabuco</figcaption></figure> <p>Folk dances share some or all of the following attributes: </p> <ul><li>Dances are usually held at folk dance gatherings or social functions by people with little or no professional training, often to traditional music.</li> <li>Dances not generally designed for public performance or the stage, though they may later be arranged and set for stage performances.</li> <li>Execution dominated by an inherited tradition from various international cultures rather than innovation (though folk traditions change over time).</li> <li>New dancers often learn informally by observing others or receiving help from others.</li></ul> <p>More controversially, some people define folk dancing as dancing for which there is no governing body or dancing for which there are no <a href="/wiki/Competition" title="Competition">competitive</a> or professional institutions. The term "folk dance" is sometimes applied to dances of historical importance in European culture and history; typically originating before the 20th century. For other cultures the terms "ethnic dance" or "traditional dance" are sometimes used, although the latter terms may encompass <a href="/wiki/Ceremonial_dance" title="Ceremonial dance">ceremonial dances</a>. </p><p>There are a number of modern dances, such as hip hop dance, that evolve spontaneously, but the term "folk dance" is generally not applied to them, and the terms "street dance" or "vernacular dance" are used instead. The term "folk dance" is reserved for dances which are to a significant degree bound by tradition and originated in the times when the distinction existed between the dances of "common folk" and the dances of the modern ballroom dances originated from folk ones. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Europe">Europe</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Folk_dance&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Europe"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tarantella_(unknown_date),_by_Alexandre-Thomas_Francia.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Tarantella_%28unknown_date%29%2C_by_Alexandre-Thomas_Francia.jpg/250px-Tarantella_%28unknown_date%29%2C_by_Alexandre-Thomas_Francia.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="170" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Tarantella_%28unknown_date%29%2C_by_Alexandre-Thomas_Francia.jpg/330px-Tarantella_%28unknown_date%29%2C_by_Alexandre-Thomas_Francia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Tarantella_%28unknown_date%29%2C_by_Alexandre-Thomas_Francia.jpg/500px-Tarantella_%28unknown_date%29%2C_by_Alexandre-Thomas_Francia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3821" data-file-height="2950" /></a><figcaption>Italians dancing the <i><a href="/wiki/Tarantella" title="Tarantella">tarantella</a></i></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:2954-Kud_Doka_Paulovic_de_Servia_no_Festival_Folclorico_da_Coru%C3%B1a._(8202865217).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/2954-Kud_Doka_Paulovic_de_Servia_no_Festival_Folclorico_da_Coru%C3%B1a._%288202865217%29.jpg/220px-2954-Kud_Doka_Paulovic_de_Servia_no_Festival_Folclorico_da_Coru%C3%B1a._%288202865217%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="175" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/2954-Kud_Doka_Paulovic_de_Servia_no_Festival_Folclorico_da_Coru%C3%B1a._%288202865217%29.jpg/330px-2954-Kud_Doka_Paulovic_de_Servia_no_Festival_Folclorico_da_Coru%C3%B1a._%288202865217%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/2954-Kud_Doka_Paulovic_de_Servia_no_Festival_Folclorico_da_Coru%C3%B1a._%288202865217%29.jpg/440px-2954-Kud_Doka_Paulovic_de_Servia_no_Festival_Folclorico_da_Coru%C3%B1a._%288202865217%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2268" data-file-height="1808" /></a><figcaption>Serbian folk group dancing at a festival</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Rapper_Sword_Dancers_-_Sheffield_Steel.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Rapper_Sword_Dancers_-_Sheffield_Steel.jpg/250px-Rapper_Sword_Dancers_-_Sheffield_Steel.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="124" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Rapper_Sword_Dancers_-_Sheffield_Steel.jpg/330px-Rapper_Sword_Dancers_-_Sheffield_Steel.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Rapper_Sword_Dancers_-_Sheffield_Steel.jpg/500px-Rapper_Sword_Dancers_-_Sheffield_Steel.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="675" /></a><figcaption>Rapper Sword Dancers -

Most country dances and ballroom dances originated from folk dances, with gradual refinement over the years. </p><p>People familiar with folk dancing can often determine what country a dance is from even if they have not seen that particular dance before. Some countries' dances have features that are unique to that country, although neighboring countries sometimes have similar features. For example, the <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">German</a> and <a href="/wiki/Austria" title="Austria">Austrian</a> <a href="/wiki/Schuhplattler" title="Schuhplattler">schuhplattling dance</a> consists of slapping the body and shoes in a fixed pattern, a feature that few other countries' dances have. </p><p>Folk dances sometimes evolved long before current political boundaries, so that certain dances are shared by several countries. For example, some <a href="/wiki/Serbian_dances" title="Serbian dances">Serbian</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bulgarian_dances" class="mw-redirect" title="Bulgarian dances">Bulgarian</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Croatian_dances" class="mw-redirect" title="Croatian dances">Croatian dances</a> share the same or similar dances, and sometimes even use the same name and music for those dances. </p><p><a href="/wiki/International_folk_dance" title="International folk dance">International folk dance</a> groups exist in cities and college campuses in many countries, in which dancers learn folk dances from many cultures for recreation. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Balfolk" title="Balfolk">Balfolk</a> events are <a href="/wiki/Social_dance" title="Social dance">social dance</a> events with live music in Western and Central Europe, originating in the folk revival of the 1970s and becoming more popular since about 2000, where popular European partner dances from the end of the 19th century such as the <a href="/wiki/Schottische" title="Schottische">schottische</a>, <a href="/wiki/Polka" title="Polka">polka</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mazurka" title="Mazurka">mazurka</a> and <a href="/wiki/Waltz" title="Waltz">waltz</a> are danced, with additionally other European folk dances, mainly from <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>, but also from <a href="/wiki/Sweden" title="Sweden">Sweden</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a> and other countries. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Middle_East,_Central_Asia_and_South_Asia"><span id="Middle_East.2C_Central_Asia_and_South_Asia"></span>Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Folk_dance&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Ardah" title="Ardah">Ardah</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Armenian_dance" title="Armenian dance">Armenian dance</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Assyrian_folk_dance" title="Assyrian folk dance">Assyrian folk dance</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Azerbaijani_dances" title="Azerbaijani dances">Azerbaijani dances</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bihu_dance" title="Bihu dance">Bihu</a>, an <a href="/wiki/Assam" title="Assam">Assamese</a> dance celebrating the arrival of spring, traditionally the beginning of the Assamese New Year</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Attan" title="Attan">Attan</a> - The national dance of Afghanistan.
