It is understood from the passage that ----.
Folk dance is a term referring to any kind of dance
which has been developed within a traditional
community, rather than being created by a
choreographer or teacher. Steps and patterns are
passed on from one generation to another, gradually
undergoing a process of change. Many folk dances
have their origins in ritual and express the character of
the community who dance them. The term was coined
in the 18th century to distinguish “peasant” dance forms
from those of the upper classes, but the distinction itself
dates back to the 15th century when ballroom dances
first began to emerge as separate forms. With
urbanization and demographic change, many original
forms of folk dance have been lost, even though many
Western countries, during the 20th century, attempted
to rediscover and preserve them, often through
specialist groups of folk dancers.
