INTRODUCTION
• With each passing year, the customs and beliefs of groups of people
get built little by little, slowly with time forming into traditions. Folk
dances represent one of the strongest ways these (sometimes truly
ancient) traditions of countries and regions can be showcased to the
public. Even though many traditional dances bear the name of an
ethnic dance, not all of them remain folk dances, but all of them try
to emphasize the cultural roots of the particular dance. Some of them
morphed over time into religious dances, and as such, they are not
primarily used to showcase tradition but to enhance religious
ceremonies and beliefs. Such dances are often called religious or
ritual dances.
