This paper describes the deliberate process of applying, modifying and adapting the research methods of ethnochoreology – a sub-discipline of ethnology, folklore research and cultural anthropology – in an attempt to determine a sufficiently flexible method for dealing with data that only recently has become the focus of Croatian ethnochoreology. The author finds that the selection and adoption of such methods – such as interviews or participant observation – must take into account the specific nature of the research objects.

Prispevek opisuje premišljen proces uporabe, spreminjanja in prilagajanja raziskovalnih metod v etnokoreologiji, poddisciplini etnologije, folkloristike in kulturne antropologije, da bi določili dovolj prilagodljivo metodo za obravnavo podatkov, ki so šele nedavno postali središčni v hrvaški etnokoreologiji. Avtorica opozarja, da morata izbor in privzetje metod, kakršni sta intervjuvanje in udeležba z opazovanjem, upoštevati posebne narave raziskovanih predmetov.
