Slovak Folk Music

In Slovakia, tradition is also kept alive in the form of music and dance. Slovak folk music is popular throughout Slovakia, with different regions performing their own unique dances.

When Slovak folkgroups perform a dance from a particular region, they wear the traditional costumes typical of that region.

Slovak folk dances are especially popular in the Orava, Liptov, Saris and Horehronie regions of Slovakia. The photo above shows the "Bottle Dance", a favorite dance from the Saris region.

The Slovak folk costumes, including accessories, such as hats, shoes, boots and ribbons, are made in the same way as the original national costumes.

This section looks at some of the different folk dances that are performed in Slovakia, as well as the different musical instruments used to accompany the dancing.
