Parallel traditions: state folk dance ensembles and folk dance in "The Field"

Article Abstract:

Folk dancing provides choreographers with many challenges. They must carefully address different and significant details whether they are rendering an accurate portrayal or reinterpreting tradition. These details range from costuming and musical composition to degree of body movement, and must be evaluated according to the importance a culture places on them.
