Course objectives
The course offers an insight in folk dancing in the local and international contexts. As well as suggesting the historical development of the studies it looks at the socio-cultural environment of the dance, carriers of dance and selected demonstrations of dance stemming not only from traditional culture but also from other cultural fields. Attention is also paid to kinetography and research into dance anthropology for which the study of dance and movement in general is the foundation and integral part of human existence.
