Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of the historiography of Ukrainian choreographic culture and identify the main problems. Methodology. The article analyzes and systematizes the historiography of the Ukrainian folk choreographic culture, rather conditionally its differentiated by groups; applied a chronological approach to identify links between the scientific and theoretical heritage of the past and modern works. Scientific novelty. For the first time, a comprehensively meaningful modern historiography of Ukrainian folk choreographic culture (scientific, educational, popular science works), identified the main problems (the absence of a general history of Ukrainian folk choreographic art, the absence of comprehensive modern textbooks and popular science works). Conclusions. Modern researchers of Ukrainian folk and folk stage choreography rely on the historiographic heritage of the past, deepen the outlined vectors, and create new directions. The introduction of significant masses of factual material into the scientific circulation, a critical rethinking of the theoretical base developed by predecessors, and the use of modern research methods ensured the qualitative growth of Ukrainian choreographical thought. One of the aspects of updating the research methodology on the problems of Ukrainian choreographic culture has become an interdisciplinary nature, conducting research on the border with cultural studies, philosophy, sociology, etc. Today, Ukrainian folk choreographic culture is the main object mainly in scientific and educational publications designed for narrowly professional audiences. The biggest problems of national choreology include the creation of a general history of Ukrainian folk choreographic art and complex modern textbooks. There is an acute shortage of works addressed to the general reader that would popularize dance as a unique phenomenon of national culture, reveal its aesthetic value and asignificance as a means of establishing Ukrainian identity.
