Have got intersting folk dances

Slovak folk dances are one of the most fascinating aspects of Slovakia. Dances and folk costumes vary in color and style depending on the location and manner of life. In reality, Slovakia has over a hundred folk ensembles, and the dances are quick, full of passion, and generally accompanied by percussion, violin, and bass. Maya is a former folk dancer who used to be a member of a folk ensemble. Many folk performances take place at festivals throughout the summer.

The Slovak people's dances are as diverse and beautiful as the area in which they evolved, and as fascinating as the people who lived there. The movement reflects the history and culture of a people who have clung tenaciously to their folk traditions and succeeded in maintaining a strong Slovak identity despite centuries of subjugation, from the simplicity of village dances to the elaborate stage choreographies of modern amateur and professional ensembles. The dance, along with music and other folk customs, survives today as a testament to the Slovak spirit and is warmly and sometimes reverently referred to as the "pearls of Slovak culture" by Slovaks.
