ethnodance

Ethnodance is the study and practice of traditional dance forms that reflect a specific culture or community’s identity, history, and social values. It explores how dance functions as a form of communication, expression, and cultural preservation. By examining dance movements, rituals, and performance contexts, ethnodance reveals insights into the beliefs and everyday life of a group. It combines elements of anthropology and dance to preserve and understand cultural heritage, fostering appreciation for diversity and helping communities maintain their traditions in a globalized world.
