One of the most popular and well-known dances associated with Wales is called the Welsh Shuffle, but this is not a traditional dance in the sense of being passed down through generations with specific movements and steps. It's a more contemporary social dance that gained popularity in the 20th century and is used as an upbeat icebreaker at events and gatherings.
Other dance forms practiced in Wales include "Dawnsio Gwerin" (folk dancing), which encompasses various regional folk dances passed down through generations. These folk dances often have cultural and historical significance and are performed at specific events and festivals throughout Wales.
Additionally, traditional dances associated with certain occupations, such as the "Colliery Dance" (a dance performed by coal miners), have also been part of Welsh culture. However, the broader term "Welsh dancing" is not commonly used to refer to any singular dance form or style.
