Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze Ukrainian-Czech interactions in the formation of Volyn folk choreographic culture. Methodology. The method of comparative analysis was used during the study of stylistic features, and figurative and plastic qualities of Volyn's dance art. Since the process of formation of folk dance in the region was significantly influenced by various historical events and cultural life, it was advisable to use the historical-cultural and contextual method. The theoretical and analytical method was chosen to generalize and structure the facts. Scientific novelty. Ukrainian-Czech interactions in the formation of Volyn folk choreographic culture are characterized for the first time. Conclusions. The analysis allows us to state the presence of Ukrainian-Czech interactions, which led to the peculiarities of the formation of the folk choreographic culture of Volyn. In particular, the study of the choreographic stylistics of Volyn and Polissya polka testifies to the synthesis of its elements with traditional, relict manifestations of the region's choreographic culture: wedding traditions, local games, ancient pagan celebrations, etc. Interactions took place not only at the level of lexical transformations of performing skills but also in the plane of figurative and thematic features, determining the local originality of authentic Volyn dances
