Abstract
Widespread interest and recognition of folklore, from the late eighteenth century onwards, provided a stimulating atmosphere for the emergence of scientific investigation into folk dance traditions in Hungary. The particular ethos of Hungarian folk dance research, which is shared to a greater or lesser extent with other countries in east and central Europe, has been determined by three specific features: a vigorous and rich traditional dance culture upon which to focus; a well-constructed institutional framework within which to conduct the research; and access to modest technical equipment to support fieldwork and subsequent analysis of the collected materials.
