Summary/Abstract: Understanding the historical processes in the shaping of stage folk music raises an important question about the application of traditional music in stage choreographic works. Since the 1930s in Serbia, the history of music and dance was created by prominent individuals, musicians and composers, initiated by the work of choreographers such as Maga Magazinović, Russian artists, and later by many domestic performing artists gathered around cultural and artistic societies and the National ensemble “Kolo”. In this article, all available data relevant for the consideration of stage folk music as a specific genre will be presented along with the stage folk dance, precisely through the form of folk dance choreography (FDC), whose developmental path was hinted at since the end of the 19th century. Defining and understanding dance music, that is, music for FDC, opens new horizons in re-examining the process of forming stage folk music in our region.
