The tradition & historical record

Украінскі народны танец — традыцыйныя танцы украінцаў. Асноўныя танцавальныя жанры ўкраінскага народнага танца:

карагод, як адзін з самых старажытных відаў народнага танцавальнага мастацтва, выкананне якога звязана з каляндарнымі абрадамі; бытавы танец, да якога адносяцца мяцеліца, гапак, казачок, гуцулкі, каламыйка, кадрыля, полька. Сёння ўкраінскі танец перш за ўсё прадстаўлены тым, што этнографы, фалькларысты і гісторыкі танца называюць «Украінскія народна-сцэнічныя танцы», якія з’яўляюцца стылізаваным ўяўленнем традыцыйных танцаў і іх характэрных рухаў, харэаграфія якіх ставіцца для канцэртна-танцавальных спектакляў. Гэтая стылізаваная форма мастацтва настолькі прасякнула культуру Украіны, што на сённяшні дзень засталося вельмі мала чыста традыцыйных форм украінскага танца.
