Tine Rožanc Folkloric Dance Group was originally established in 1949 as a part of the Tine Rožanc Railway Cultural Association (1921), the history of which is linked to a 19th-century cultural initiative connected with the construction of the Southern Railway from Vienna to Ljubljana and Trieste. Today it comprises more than 120 dancers (aged from 4 to 75 years), two orchestras (one being a tambour string orchestra that plays primarily the music of the Bela Krajina region and the neighbouring Croatian regions of Dalmatia and Slavonia), a children's dance group and a veterans' group.

The group presents the Slovene folkloric heritage (customs, costumes, music and dance) throughout Slovenia and abroad. During the 1960s the group toured to Trieste, Gorizia, London, Dijon, Lienz and Meran, and won the first prize at a festival at Bellingham. In the 1970s it co-operated with a folkloric group from Haifa, Israel, and later toured to Finland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Egypt within the programming framework of the International Council for Organisations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Art (CIOFF), Slovenia.
