folk dancing
Definition
- The Europe-wide folk revival at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries saw folk dance as representative of a nation's heritage. Folk dance was linked to the national character, but more than this, it was valued as antiindustrial, its rural roots setting it against the decay of modernity.
