The wide spectrum of folklore activities organized regularly in the urban environment confirms the stability of folk dance position in the contemporary society. The study presents current forms of folk dance, using an example of selected folklore activities, such as dance houses, dance parties with cimbalom music, and folklore aerobic. Although these folklore activities have different contents and stories, they share their essential participatory feature. The basic methodological starting point consists in the perception of the dance as a cultural product, not only as a physical phenomenon that takes place in a certain time and space. The research was carried out in three cities: Prague in the Czech Republic, Brno in Moravia, and Bratislava in Slovakia. Events associated with the environment in which folklore activities take place are lively and growing in their intensity (e.g. new events develop). The author is interested in the importance of these activities in the urban environment. In her treatise, she also deals with the issues of identity and conscious relationship to folklore, which result in the development of so-called folk-love communities. The text is based on ongoing field research.
