| Description | The contribution focuses on the current form of folk dance, specifically within the context of traditional feasts in the Brno region. Embracing the rich cultural heritage embedded in these celebrations, the study offers a comprehensive analysis of the diverse dance repertoire encountered at such events. Based on field research realized as part of a diploma thesis, it deals with the question of how folk dance looks and lives today. Specifically, the contribution focuses on the example of the female circle dance called "karičky" as a case study representative of the contemporary regional milieu. Through an exploration of its origins, evolution, and current form, this research sheds light on the intricate dynamics of this traditional dance and its possible significance within the broader cultural context of the Brno region. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between dance, tradition, and regional identity in the Brno region's cultural landscape. |
