FOLK DANCE
• A folk dance is a dance that reflects the life of the
people of a certain country or region. Not all ethnic
dances are folk dances. For example, ritual dances or
dances of ritual origin are not considered to be folk
dances. Ritual dances are usually called "religious
dances" because of their purpose.
Folk dances share some or all of the following
attributes:
 Dances are usually held at folk dance gatherings or social
functions by people with little or no professional training,
often to traditional music.
 Dances not generally designed for public performance or the
stage, though they may later be arranged and set for stage
performances.
 Execution dominated by an inherited tradition from various
international cultures rather than innovation (though folk
traditions change over time)
 New dancers often learn informally by observing others or
receiving help from others.
BENEFITS OF FOLK DANCE
• Dance is a great form of exercise while allowing you to be as energetic as you like. Some
estimate social levels of dancing to burn 100 to 400 calories per hour, while competitive
dancers burn more than 600 calories per hour. Two to three hours of continuous dancing
can give you an excellent low-impact aerobic workout. Dancing is also a fun substitute for
boring exercise programs designed for recovering surgery and heart patients.

• Ifyou are to dance well, it requires good posture, which helps you breath better, walk
better, and look and feel younger!

• Finally, dancing is one of the few activities men and women can enjoy together. It's a great
way to meet people, make new friends, and interact socially. Dancers are the nicest people!
