2. On the Educational Potential of Folk Dance

Abstract

Abstract Folk dance, described in Folkloristics through notions like traditional dance, or, more often, folk choreography, refers to a specific domain of traditional spirituality, and is the third major component of folklore, alongside traditional literature/literary folklore and traditional music/musical folklore.The relation between folk dance and the Romanian education system is a long-lasting one, having taken various forms and degrees of intensity, as this folklore category offers resources and contents that have been used, and still are, in the education of children, youth, and adults. This article refers to the basic components of folk dance distinguished in Ethnochoreology which can offer useful contents to the process of didactic transposition at different levels of education in the Romanian school.
