Dance ethnology is a branch of anthropology (ethnology) and ethnomusicology devoted to the study of dance. Synonyms are dance anthropology and ethnochoreology. It is the study of that dance which is native to a specific race or ethnic group. It includes folk dancing because folk dances are often derived from ethnic dances.
