List of ethnic, regional, and folk dances by origin

This is a list of dances grouped by ethnicity, country, or region.

These dances should also be listed on the general, noncategorized index list of specific dances.

Note: in Armenian "bar" means "dance".

Names of many Greek dances may be found spelt either ending with -o or with -os.

This is due to the fact that the word for "dance" in Greek is a masculine noun, while the dance itself can also be referred to by a neuter adjective used substantively.
