It is first of all ethnology, which deals professionally with the folk dance in the Czech milieu, even when the interest in it falls into the other branches of science. Musicology or choreology consider it rather as a marginalized object of their research. It is a certain paradox, because ethnology, in certain phases of its development, considered the dance as folk art and in this spirit it dealt with this phenomenon. Attention was concentrated on the aesthetically valuable dance presentations and interest was thus oriented, above all, to the traditional dance culture and its residues. Human being, however, expresses his emotions by all kinds of motion and disappearance of traditional repertoire did not imply disappearance of the dance as such. The anthropological approaches help us to study dance culture in the broadest sense of the word. It is the stage folklorism, which we should include in this culture as well. In addition to intermediation of the folk dance knowledge, this way of dance can reveal the inner world of the dancer. Broadly defined research and interference of branches is thus the basis for further development of ethnochoreology, a significant subdiscipline of ethnology.
