2.1 Definition of Folk Dance

Folk dance, generally, a type of dance that is a vernacular, usually recreational,

expression of a past or present culture. The term folk dance was accepted until the mid-20th
century. Then this and other categories of dance were questioned and their distinctions became
subject to debate.
