Methodical aspects of the (H)ostropat dance as an indispensible part in the repertoire of dance groups from the Republic of Moldova

Summary/Abstract: The study addresses a wide range of interpretations of (H)ostropat dance from the repertoire of dance groups in the Republic of Moldova in the XXI century. (H)ostropat — represents a ceremonial dance that accompanies various ritual acts in the traditional wedding, being an expression of a specifi c language of communication that determined the very aesthetics of the dance, its forms of expression, stylistic norms of the repertoire, etc. Th e (H) ostropat dance, being part of the value system of popular culture, with some aspects of ritual and entertainment, highlights the importance of professional choreographic practice and the role of dance groups in cultural institutions of traditional amateur artistic activity. Th e author focuses her attention on the confi guration of the methodological apparatus of researching the repertoire of dance groups as a paradigm of a new stylistic direction and cultural identity in the realm of contemporary choreographic art. It is found that the tendencies of simplifying the ritual structure of the wedding and of compressing the temporal and spatial framework, the modernization of the ceremonial conception and the fl ow of new dances, created by professional artists or adapted from the repertoire of folk, neo-traditional and national dances in the region, have essentially marked the structure of the repertoire of the traditional dance groups.
