Russian folk dance
Russian folk dance (
History
Many Russian dances became known from the 10th century. Russia witnessed various invasions from other countries. Due to its location and size the country also came into contact with many different cultures through migration and trading. In turn, a Eurasian cultural mix of music and dance helped develop Russian folk dances.[1]
Many of these early dances were performed and practiced by the lower classes. Typically the upper classes would watch performers rather than participate in the dances themselves.
The original Russian folk dance traditions continue to play an important part in the culture of the country and have been in constant interaction with Russia’s many ethnic groups.[2] Russian folk dances are also in interrelations with other types of artistic expressions.[3] One example can be seen in the Ballets Russes, which invokes Russian folk dances and music in its pieces.
