FAQ About The Role of Dance in Cultural Identity

How are traditional dances taught and passed down through generations?

Traditional dances are typically passed down through oral tradition, where elders and experienced dancers teach the younger generation. This transmission often occurs in informal settings, such as family gatherings or community events, but can also happen in more structured environments like dance schools. By teaching the meanings and techniques of traditional dances, cultural continuity is maintained.
