Abstract

The article presents the folk dance of the Croats in brief, from its magical roots to its contemporary presentation at festivals and reviews.
On the basis of archival data we present the key elements that describe dances and dance customs from the 13th to the 19th century. On the basis of field work and written works in the 20th century we provide a division of dances by dance zones, and then we speak of the forming of the Institute of Folklore Research (formerly the Institute of Folk Art) and field work, the founding of the Lado Folklore Ensemble and the International Folklore Review in Zagreb.
