What is sign language dance?

Sign language dance has evolved into beautiful body language through the sign language of the deaf, but this is only an evolution, not a real sign language. Through Chinese sign language and lyrics, sign language dance has evolved into a gesture to express the meaning of words and beautiful body. This is just a dance that has little to do with sign language.

On the basis of standard sign language, sign language dance incorporates folk dance, ballet, Latin dance, jazz dance, aerobics and cheerleading. Some of them were not only translated by the performers in sign language, but also added steps, movements and formation changes to make the whole expression more vivid and rich. Practicing hand language dance can not only exercise and cultivate sentiment, but also learn some basic sign language, killing two birds with one stone.

Extended data:

Sign language has existed since ancient times, and it is not specially used for deaf people. The ancients used gestures to communicate opinions, and then slowly produced language. The ancients were mainly hunting and farming, and there were few rules to follow in society, so deaf people could adapt to life. However, after the development of culture, society progressed and many abstract symbols appeared. In order to adapt to social life, they have to express their feelings in sign language.

Sign language has a long history, but formal deaf-mute education only developed more than 400 years ago. It can be seen that Father draper, the first great French educator for the deaf, created and invented sign language to facilitate management and training.

1760, his shelter was transformed into a national school for the deaf, and he was appointed as the first principal. His assistant thinks that a sign language dictionary should be compiled, and he also spends a lot of time on sign language editing. Unfortunately, gestures are too complicated to be widely used. Sometimes a word needs many gestures to explain clearly, especially abstract expressions, so he had to switch to oral English teaching after 1880.
