Dance Traditions API

Use this API to add structured cultural-dance lookup data to education, entertainment, and heritage applications. It exposes normalized JSON endpoints with practical filters, count-bearing reference tables, source metadata, and dataset summary totals so developers can add discovery, tagging, and enrichment features without maintaining their own scraper or curation pipeline.
