Folk Dances From Different Cultures Around The World
Go on a World Tour of dance. Some dances are very similar, some are like nothing you have ever seen before, and some date back 1000 years or more.
Explore dances from all 7 continents and lots of countries. We have tried to represent many countries and cultures, but plan to add even more dances to this section in the future. Many are traditional folk dances, some have a modern twist. Most of these dance videos have wonderful costumes or traditional garb and some offer fantastic scenery. It is interesting to see how similar or how different countries can be that are close together on the map.
Hear the traditional music – some have really different sounds or use unique instruments. The human voice is a common instrument that has been used for thousands of years. Drums are also common across countries and continents, although they may differ in size and sound.
Explore a world of dance and see how similar - and how different – dance is around the world. If these dances inspire you, look into learning more about traditional or cultural dance from your country.
