Dance has been a part of people`s lives since ancient times. Throughout history a large number of different dance styles have developed under the influence of different cultures. Success in dance depends on the level of mastered dance technique, but also on individual motor skills. One of them is the dynamic and static muscle strength. The aim of this research is to prove statistically significant differences in certain variables of dynamic and static trunk muscle strength in recreational ballet, jazz and folk dancers. 86 recreational dancers participated in the research, 23 ballet dancers, 35 jazz dancers and 28 folk dancers from various dance studios and folklore society. The first set of variables represents the morphological characteristics (body height and body weight), the second set of variables measures the dynamic muscle strength (sit up endurance test in 60 seconds and dynamic trunk extensions in 60 seconds), and the third set of variables measures the static strength of the trunk muscles (endurance test of trunk extensors, endurance test of the trunk flexors, endurance test of the lateral trunk flexors of the left and right sides of the body). The results obtained by the univariate analysis of variance of individual variables confirmed a statistically significant difference in the variables of the dynamic strength of the trunk muscles between the folk-ballet and folk-jazz groups, and in the variable of the trunk muscle endurance test on the left side of the body to measure the static strength of the trunk muscles between the folk-ballet group. The results of the remaining variables between different dance styles were not statistically significant.
