Summary/Abstract: In the present article, the author has as main objective the argumentation of the necessity of studying and valorising the folk dance, namely the hora, in the context of its integration into the modern society. To this end, the historical, as well as the inter-disciplinary methods of approaching the problem are used, insisting on the documentation of the sources of the emergence of dance, on its valorisation, especially of the hora, in the artistic life of society, but also in the didactic process. Starting from the essence of the dance art, especially of the folk dance, as a decisive part of the man’s life in the village, the specificity of the hora in the Romanian space and its research perspective are emphasized, in consonance with the investigations carried out by the researchers in this field. From the point of view of valorising the dance hora, other genres of art (literature, music) are mentioned, in which this choreic species was the topic or artistic motive in different cultural debates.
