| Sumario: | In 1948 Argentina’s National School of Folkloric Dances was created as a part of Juan D. Peron’s “Quinquennial Plan”, launched during his first administration. Thus, the transmission and diffusion of folkloric dances as national symbols began to be professionalized, the development of which was accomplish by the instruction of a troupe of national dance teachers. This process required a repertoire based on the selection and transformation of those dances considered to be adequate expressions of Argentine nationhood, by means of choreography, music, clothing and events. Folklore, consolidating by the time as a scientific discipline, was functional to the national project, giving the criteria for the creation of a dance repertoire taught in Buenos Aires and expanded to the whole country. In this article we will describe the historical development that enables folkloric dances teaching institutionalization in Argentina, as well as the effects of such institutionalization. We will explore the rol that different groups or individuals from the political, cultural or academic realm attributed to the teaching of folkloric dances, during the process of nation-state building. |
