 | | However, not all ethnic dances are folk ones. | | | It this sense, nearly all folk dances are ethnic ones. | | | In the 1960's this movement was supported by record labels such as Folk Dancer by Michael and Maryann Herman, and the Folkways label by Moses Asch which is currently under the Smithsonian Institute. |

| | TEACHING FOLK DANCE: PURPOSES INFORMING METHOD |
| | A folk dance teacher who aspires to present dance in cultural context necessarily must learn the other elements of folk culture; costumes, traditions, songs and musical instrumentation. | | | The present form of presenting folk dance performances has had limited success; a more viable vehicle must be created that presents the totality of folk culture in a palatable manner that helps to create a wider customer appeal and simultaneously can promote and preserve folk culture as well as entertain and educate. | | | To enhance the visible impact of the performance, the dances are performed in colorful folk costumes and to break the monotony, the performance is sometimes supplemented with folk songs. |

| | There are other dances, mainly danced closely linked together, which I think of as being from `Greater Armenia', that is, from the territory which used to be Armenian and where dances and music reveal an Armenian influence, even though the dances might be called Turkish, Kurdish, or Assyrian. | | | Generally, I place Armenian dances into four categories: dances from Eastern Caucasian Armenia, from Western Anatolian Armenia, from Greater Armenia, and diaspora dances. | | | A general differentiation could also be made between village folk dances and those which have been arranged or choreographed by professional ensembles, as well as between the dances found in Armenia today and those now danced mainly in expatriate communities. |
