People all over the world dance traditional and popular dances that
have been staged for purposes of representing specific national and
ethnic groups. Anthony Shay suggests these staged dance productions
be called "ethno identity dances", especially to replace the term
"folk dance," which Shay suggests should refer to the traditional
dances found in village settings as an organic part of village and
tribal life. Shay investigates the many motives that impel people
to dance in these staged productions: dancing for sex or dancing
sexy dances, dancing for fun and recreation, dancing for profit -
such as dancing for tourists - dancing for the nation or to
demonstrate ethnic pride. In this study Shay also examines belly
dance, Zorba Dancing in Greek nightclubs and restaurants, Tango,
Hula, Irish step dancing, and Ukrainian dancing.
