RZD-01-13-0003-03: the tangible form of intangible dance cultural heritage

The Slovenian Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage currently lists just one element connected to dance traditions. The focus of the paper is to introduce the implementation of the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Slovenia, to outline the entry named Vuzemski plesi in igre v Metliki [Easter dance and games in Metlika] and to analyze discourses and dilemmas, which have arisen with this first inscription of dance related heritage.
