Is song and dance an intangible cultural heritage?

British song and dance culture can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Many traditional dances and music in Britain have a long history and are constantly evolving and developing. Some of the most famous dance forms in Britain include Morris dance, square dance and Scottish Highland dance.

The controversy over British song and dance as intangible cultural heritage continues. On the one hand, these traditional dances and music play a vital role in British culture and have been actively supported and passed down in many communities and regions. On the other hand, some people think that the development of these dance and music forms has become too modern and lost their original characteristics and cultural values.

Despite the controversy, British song and dance culture still has important cultural significance and historical value. The British government has taken a series of measures to protect and promote the inheritance of these traditional dances and music, including funding various cultural activities and organizations, establishing cultural heritage centers and museums, and promoting these traditional cultures in schools and communities.

In a word, British song and dance culture is a very important intangible cultural heritage, which plays a vital role in British culture and history. Despite the controversy, the government and the community have taken clear measures to protect and promote the inheritance of these traditional dances and music. We should cherish and carry forward these cultural heritages and protect and inherit our history and culture.
