European Dance Heritage in Historical Perspective
dr. Gábor Kovács
Module Rationale
This course aims to present the European dance tradition as a result of the long term historical changes. Students may get acquainted with the historical dance and musical fashions and their effect on the dance practices of the nobility, bourgeoisie and peasantry, the three characteristic social strata of the European society. From the module students may learn how historical layers of the 20th century traditional dances mirror the historical changes and the socio-political differences of the European geographical regions. Students can understand how present diversity in European dance traditions came into being. They may compare good examples for the safeguarding cultural diversity in Europe and in their own countries on other continents.
