The purpose of this paper is to study the use of the selected interactive environment as a means of promoting and popularizing folk dances among Chinese youth. The author of the research used the DanceForms application as an example of an interactive learning environment. They also used specially developed assessment: five invited dance teachers moderated and evaluated a test and a questionnaire that included10 questions and described students’ interest in folk dances. The DanceForms application demonstrated its effectiveness in all four categories of evaluation. The influence group strengthened their technical skills by 12.75%, musicality and rhythm by 12.07%, performance quality by 22.96%, and choreographic memory and adaptability by 14.85%. The interactive system also influenced the level of interest positive. The students who had practised in DanceForms demonstrated a level of interest 25.99% higher than the dancers from the control group did. The scientific value consists in new up-to-date data on the influence of interactive systems on the success of teaching folk dances and contribution to the discussion on ways to popularize, preserve and disseminate intangible cultural heritage in the global world. The results may be of value to dance teachers, university functionaries and students
