On one ornamental type of people’s choreography in the folk tradition of the Kirov region
The focus of research is a unique type of ornamental dance, recorded in the 21st century by the folklorists of the St. Petersburg Conservatory. These round dances were popularly called walking the street, walking in columns around several static objects. In the course of the work, the author reveals the characteristic signs of this type of movement: the presence of odd static objects, the embodiment of the meander idea as an embodiment of the eternity of movement, confined to the spring-summer cycle, style ties with the traditions of the Russian North, West, and Urals, etc.
