There
is really no such genre as folk dancing. Rather, there is a large body
of unrelated non-classical dance forms. The only thing common among
these dance forms is their rural origins. Many folk dances are performed
by ordinary people rather than professional dancers. It is very usual
that on special occasions, the villagers will gather and sing and dance,
accompanying themselves on a variety of folk instruments. |
