The Táncház-Method in Folk Dance Education

Abstract

In our study, we present a plan for folk dance training and its methodological background within the framework of a larger interdisciplinary research program. Our aim is to provide a brief overview of the táncház-method (also known as the dance house method), discuss its practical pedagogical antecedents and describe the teaching process used in the approach, which consists of 32 sessions. In doing so, we provide guidance for implementing the táncház-method in the folk dance classroom.
