	International folk dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International folk dance is a genre of dance that developed in the immigrant communities of the United States of America during the first half of the 20th century, wherein selected dances from various ethnic groups are done by the same dancers, typically as part of the same event.

		In particular, the generic "let's do two dances from this country and three more from that country..." groups are waning because of the huge influx of new complex dances being choreographed by instructors.
