This book is about the folk: the folk in folk dance, the folk in
folklore, the folk in folk wisdom. When we see folk dance on the
stage or in a tourist setting, which is the way in which many of us
experience folk dance, the question arises are these the "real
folk" performing their authentic dances? Or are they urban, well
trained, carefully-rehearsed professional dancers who make their
livelihood as representatives of a specific nation-state acting as
the folk? Or something in between? This study delves more deeply
into the folk, their origins, their identities in order to know the
source of inspiration for ethno identity dances - dances prepared
for the stage and the ballroom and for public performances from
ballet, state folk dance ensembles and their amateur emulators,
immigrant folk dance group performances, and tourist presentations.
These dances, unlike modern dance, ballet, or most vernacular
dances, always have strong ethnic references. It will also look at
a gallery of choreographers and artistic directors across a wide
spectrum of dance genres.
