Folk or Classical?

What is folk dance?
Don't you ever consider folk dance as rural people's dance?
Is it done by the rural people as opposed to urban people, or the dance done by the uneducated opposed to educated, or non-literate opposed to literate, or poor opposed to rich, or lower class opposed to upper class, or primitive opposed to industrial?

What is classical dance？
Is Hula a classical dance or folk dance?
Whether it's folk or classical, it's all the labels and perspectives from people.
Hula is absolutely a royal classical dance for the Hawaiian people, but probably folk dance for lots of other peoples.

Like I have been considering the Tibetan dance as a form of folk dance for long time, but didn't even realize I actually didn't have that ownership of the Tibetan culture, nor the authority to proclaim I can do the Tibetan dance.

Dangerous labels! Whether folk or classical, we just can't stop making an order in the world and categorizing the world in a functional way, but some how we may need to think twice before labeling.

Chinese government should invest some form of the festival for Tibetan Dance competition as an empowerment and nurturing for the culture of Tibetan people.
