Abstract: This study comprehensively examines the meaning and utility of visual techniques used in Turkish folk dances in a socio-cultural context.Folk dances are an important cultural heritage that leaves deep traces in social memory and keeps cultural identity alive by reflecting societal values, beliefs and social structures.Imagery techniques play a crucial role in the performance and learning of folk dances, enhancing their aesthetic and artistic value and ensuring that they are performed accurately and authentically.These techniques help dancers to better understand and execute the movements and improve their memory and comprehension.Folk dances play an important role in strengthening social bonds, promoting social interaction and solidarity.In addition, these dances enable the transmission of cultural values across generations.The study shows that the increased use of visual techniques in the teaching of folk dances will help to pass on cultural heritage to future generations in a healthy way.In this context, it was concluded that pictorial techniques enhance the aesthetic and artistic values of folk dances and strengthen social bonds.
