FAQ About The Role of Dance in Intergenerational Cultural Transmission

Is there a difference between cultural dance and folk dance in terms of cultural transmission?
While both cultural and folk dances are involved in cultural transmission, there is a subtle difference. Cultural dances often have specific historical, religious, or ceremonial significance, while folk dances are generally community-based and reflect everyday life and social functions. Both play vital roles in expressing cultural identity and ensuring that traditions are carried forward to future generations.
