Dance as a commodity: The Czech Folklore Show
Original language description
The contribution deals with the dance productions of Czech folklore show for tourists visiting Prague. This phenomenon has its origins in 1970´when few people – dancers and musicians from folklore ensembles – started to be invited to dance for tourists in prestigious hotels. After 1989 “velvet revolution” the business with folklore became a part of tourism where the dance has its specific role. An increasing number of special pubs offering Czech meal, costume, song, and dance show during an evening, provokes several questions as to how folk dance can become a profitable commodity, what trade rules apply here and what the demand-supply ratio is, and which elements of the traditional culture are picked up from the repertoire of traditional music and dance to represent the “real Czechness”. The research is based on the observation of the strategies of several folklore pubs in Prague and deep interviews with actors which enable to see the inner side of the process.
