Summary/Abstract: When the word dancing areas is mentioned, it should be known that this division is closely related to ethnographic entities and ethnic regions. Divisions of this type are related to ethnography and field research, that is, the data obtained from the field represent the basis for further analyses. Mainly, the divisions that were carried out were only for locating the information, that is, most of the time the researchers were geographically tied to a bigger city and located the traditional dances in a wider administrative area. According to the available data and information from the field of traditional dances, it would be best if the dance repertoire was followed according to ethnic regions, that is, in a broader sense, according to ethnographic units or мeridians east-west, north-south. The grouping of the ethnic areas according to unifying factors from the traditional dance, creates the dancing areas that today in science give a clear picture of the traditional dances in Macedonia.
