Are these really features of Czech culture?

So I discussed with one Silesian guy on another (Polish) forum and I said that there are no similarities between Czechs and Silesians.


So are Czechs actually ludic and folklore-oriented, cheerful people? That's not my impression of Czechs based on this forum.


When it comes to folklore, my impression is that Silesian folk dances are lively, fast and cheery, and it makes them more similar to Slovak and Lesser Polish. While Czech folk dances are slower and more melancholic. I remember Magnolia once posted examples of Czech and Slovak folk dances.

According folklore and its influence to the culture, it is a really BIG difference between Bohemia and Moravia.
Bohemian folklore really differs from Moravian one.
Moravian folklore is simillar to folklore of their Silesian and Slovak neighbours
