Folk dance is a type of dance made by a group of individuals to represent a country's or region's culture and traditions. Folk dancing, as opposed to upper-class dance, depicts the dance styles of the ordinary people. Folk dances can develop naturally among groups of individuals or they might be derived from prior styles. Free-form or rigorously structured styles are also acceptable. Folk dance routines are passed from generation to generation and refuse to change once they've been created. Folk dancing is often linked with social events, but some dances are also competitively performed, and in some areas, folk dancing is also used in cultural awareness.

Several studies believe that dance integrates a variety of activities in uncommon ways, resulting in unique outcomes. After all, dancers must concentrate on stability, movement, grace, form, coordination, agility, synchronization, flexibility, rhythms, timing, and memory while keeping time with the music. These complicated and enjoyable activities seem to work together to build and maintain high overall health far into our golden years.
