Abstract (Summary)
The purpose of this dissertation was to research the folk dances of Puerto Rico and present a written and illustrated documentation. This study includes the related history, an instructional manual with illustrated documentation, and an annotated bibliography of selected folk dances in accordance with the blending of Spanish, African and Indian influence. The folk dances that were selected for the study represented (1) the traditional dances of society, (2) the garabato or mountain dances, and (3) the dances that have evolved as a combination of racial and cultural elements called bomba dances. Drawings of each basic step, costumes and musical instruments were made by the author for the illustrated presentation of this study.
