sentences: Kamarinskaya (Russian: камаринская ) is a Russian traditional folk dance, which is mostly known today as the Russian composer Mikhail Glinka's composition of the same name.
 Glinka's "Kamarinskaya", written in 1848, was the first orchestral work based entirely on Russian folk song and to use the compositional principles of that genre to dictate the form of the music.
 It became a touchstone for the following generation of Russian composers ranging from the Western-oriented Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to the group of nationalists known collectively as The Five and was also lauded abroad, most notably by French composer Hector Berlioz.
Russian folk dance was and still is an important part of Russian culture.
 Traditional Russian folk dance has its origins in various groups, including those with Slavonian and Tatar origins.
 Some of the first Russian folk music and dance appeared around the 10th century when the Slavic tribes moved into Russia.
 As well, Russia witnessed various invasions from other countries.
 In turn, a cultural mix of music and dance helped develop Russian folk dances.
 Many of these early dances were performed and practiced by the lower classes.
 Typically the upper classes would watch performers rather than participate in the dances themselves.
