Extract

In 1962, on the occasion of the IFMC conference, a choreology study group was formed for the purpose of developing the foundation for a complex treatment of the problems of folk dance beyond the limits of individual countries.

The first task was to assemble an international committee of experts for intensive joint work to form the basis for a modern science of dance. The latest knowledge and methods of other sciences (for example, linguistics, comparative philology, musicology, and cybernetics) were the starting point for such work.
