Character dance is a specific subdivision of classical dance. It is the stylized representation of a traditional folk or national dance, mostly from European countries, and uses movements and music which have been adapted for the theater.

Character dance is integral to much of the classical ballet repertoire. A good example of character dance within ballet is the series of national dances which take place at the beginning of Act II of Swan Lake. The ballet Don Quixote also features many character variations based on traditional Spanish dances. Popular character dance adaptations for ballet also include the national dances of Hungary , Russia, Poland, Italy and Spain: csárdás, mazurka, tarantella, flamenco, etc.

Taniec_charakterystyczny

Taniec charakterystyczny – uformowany w ciągu XIX wieku stylizowany taniec ludowy, zaadaptowany do potrzeb scenicznych, jak na przykład: mazur ze Strasznego Dworu Moniuszki.

To również stylizacja taneczna charakterystycznych cech jakiejś grupy społecznej lub zawodowej, jak taniec: marynarski, góralski, cygański lub chiński.

Do tańców charakterystycznych zaliczamy także opracowania tańców ludowych wykonywanych przez takie zespoły jak Mazowsze i Śląsk.
