Ukrainian dance (Ukrainian: Український тaнeць, translit. Ukrainian 'tanets' ) refers to the traditional folk dances of the peoples of Ukraine.
Today, Ukrainian dance is primarily represented by what ethnographers, folklorists and dance historians refer to as "Ukrainian Folk-Stage Dances" (Ukrainian: Українськi Hapoднo-Cцeнiчнi Taнцi, translit. Ukrayins'ki Narodno-Stsenichni Tantsi), which are stylized representations of traditional dances and their characteristic movements that have been choreographed for concert dance performances.
