Abstract: Abstract Cultural Tourism is one of the fastest growing forms of tourism and its development contributes not only to the economic development of a place but also to the preservation of traditions/demonstration of cultural heritage. One of the areas of cultural tourism that is on the rise is the organization of Dance Events and Festivals and this is because Dance Tourism combines the benefits to the tourism development of a place with the benefits to the physical and mental health of the individual. The present study, using data obtained through a quantitative approach, with a sample of 220 people, captures and analyses the motivations of people who participate in traditional dance learning groups as well as their criteria and attitudes for participation in dance events with tourist content. In addition, the analysis of the survey results provides a first impression of the contribution of dance tourism to the promotion and development of `tourist destinations.
