| | Only in my native Hrodna region there were more than 800 clubs and so called "houses of culture", in which most of folk art (choirs, dancing ensembles, painting, ceramics etc.) were practiced. | | | Another folk group with a lot of attention to detail and truthfulness of their performance is Litwins. | | | Here are some short tracks of Belarusian folk music which I have digitized in 1994 from some very thorough French CD - a study of Belarusian folklore. |

| | (After all, Ashley is not only the "Compleat" dancing master, but the "compleat" renaissance man.) Room for a sequel then!
And it's a shame that there's no attempt at an index. | | | Folk singer Shirley Collins was just 19 when she met and became involved with the American folklorist Alan Lomax, and in 1959 she set off with him on a year-long trip to the States to discover the traditional music of America's heartland. | | | He also managed to make contact with that hidden Ireland, which most tourists don't come into contact with, mainly because of his deep understanding of the Irish sense of humour which seems the life source of most Irish men and women. |

| | Dancing at the Edge of the World |
| | The dance may have its roots in a woman’s dance to choose a mate, but more likely this explanation is a folk-historical reconstruction of a reason for the hagallah’s matriarchal substructure. | | | I make them because I want to make sure my articles keep the form I worked so hard to finalize, and because I want people who are doing their own reading and research in the field to know the individual voices behind the words. | | | This is apparent in ritual dances such as guedra, in which an entranced female dancer is the focus of a community ritual; or the zar, in which mainly female - guides, through trance, oversee the healing of female patients. |

| | The State Folk Dance Conspiracy: Fabricating a National Folk Dance |
| | At the time of this writing, there are twenty-two states that have passed legislation designating square dance as the "state folk dance." Many of these bills were passed after 1988, which was the last time that a bill was in the U.S. Congress to designate square dancing as the national folk dance. | | | Club square dancing may be an entertaining and wholesome form of recreation, but its highly organized nature is the very antithesis of the concept of "folk." It not my intention to say that traditional square dancing, as opposed to club square dancing, should be the state folk dance in any state in this country. | | | Legislation of club square dancing as the state folk dance is a serious threat to traditional and regional variations of square dance. |

| | The State Folk Dance Conspiracy: Fabricating a National Folk Dance |
| | Modern Western square dance is not a folk dance, and it is not the same thing as clogging, contra dancing, and ballroom dancing, despite the insistence of club square dancers. | | | At the time of this writing, there are twenty-two states that have passed legislation designating square dance as the "state folk dance." Many of these bills were passed after 1988, which was the last time that a bill was in the U.S. Congress to designate square dancing as the national folk dance. | | | Maryland's experience with state folk dance legislation echoes the unsuccessful attempts to have club square dancing declared the national folk dance. |

| | The Cajun two-step and waltz, square dancing, zydeco two-step and waltz, second-line dancing, and old-time country two-step and waltz are some examples of folk or traditional dance that are closely connected to the dominant folk cultures in Louisiana's three folk regions. | | | Folk movement and dance have rhythmic movements that are learned within folk groups in a traditional manner, by observation and imitation, usually to music traditional to the group. | | | Adults may overlook the importance of dance in their lives, but they often enjoy dance as part of their fitness or social lives, from aerobics to square dancing, second-line parading to dancing at wedding parties, and moving to sacred music. |
