The problem of zoning of Ukrainian folk dance culture and its autochthonous and influential elements, which are especially active in the border areas with other ethnic groups and peoples, namely - ethnochoreographic fronts, in areas where the most intense processes of interaction and interpenetration of multinational dance segments. In the course of the research it was revealed that frontal zones can concern not only exclusively border areas (main meso-feature), but also function in much more localized territories of even one ethnic region (micro-feature), as well as cover large geographical areas or totally spread throughout territory of the country (macro-feature). An important factor is the intensity of the spread and assimilation of non-national or non-ethnic dance cultures, which can be measured in a few cases or be mass.
