Folk dance is a term used to describe a large number of dances, mostly of European origin, that tend to share the following attributes:
- They were originally danced in about the 19th century or earlier (or are, in any case, not currently copyrighted);
- Their performance is dominated by an inherited tradition rather than by innovation;
- They were danced by common people and not exclusively by aristocracy;
- They have been developed spontaneously and there is no governing body that has final say over what "the dance" is or who is authorized to teach it. This also means that no one has the final say over the definition of folk dance or the minimum age for such dances.
Folk dances are traditionally performed during social events by people with little or no professional training. New dancers often learn informally by observing others and/or receiving help from others. Folk dancing is viewed as more of a social activity rather than competitive, although there are professional and semi-professional folk dance groups, and occasional folk dance competitions.
