Folk traditions evolve and emerge over time from people teaching people. The Folk Festival celebrates the music, dance, and art that have become cultural traditions. Much like a virus, ideas and cultural traditions spread through person-to-person transmission. This is why folk traditions from different places around the world are so unique.

Over time, technology has made traveling the world possible – at a faster and faster rate. The GPS is wondering how today’s technology, specifically YouTube, is changing the way Folk Traditions evolve.

GPS has curated a YouTube program in which “people are teaching people”.

Come experience these DANCE lessons from around the world and explore the past, present, and future of Folk.
