Context: Project Dance your heritage! is focused on culture education and raising the awareness of culture heritage. Human society is currently experiencing a spiritual and moral crisis. The most significant is the problem of cultural and moral education - is the growth of the negative trends among young people, increasing the number of drug addicts, young alcoholics and other deviation forms of behavior. This situation is a reflection of the changes that have taken place in the public consciousness and state’s policy. Society lost moral and spiritual ideals. There were minimized spiritual and moral learning and educational functions of the current system of education. As a result of this - the set of values, inherent in the mass consciousness, (including youth) is largely destructive in terms of the development of the individuality, the family and the state. Low self-esteem and a lack of national pride youth generate make passive behavior in social and public life, problems of unemployment, low mobility and high dissatisfaction of the state. Problems of education of youth need to be solved urgently. A lot of positive things can be taken from the previous generations. Circumstances suggest that it is necessary to reconsider experience in the field of spiritual and moral education of the young generation, to attach it to the current conditions, thus reviving the traditions of the nation.
