[edit] U.S. - centric
I realize that this article does not have a world view at all. But I have no idea if international folk dance (as described here) exists any where else in the world. --Fang Aili talk 20:46, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I tried to broaden the view a little. I know there's lots of international dancing and dance organizations in Europe, Japan and Australia which an internet search will quickly find. Also the repertoire does tend to be Euro-centric, but the folk dance groups often know a smattering of dances from the far reaches of the globe. I've added one reference (the Betty Casey book) that is widely available in the U.S. and that provides some history and context. --Prairie dancer 21:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
