What kinds of dances are there?

Dance art is generally classified according to the function and purpose of dance, which can be divided into two categories: life dance and artistic dance.

1, life dance, with obvious utilitarian purpose, has a direct and close connection with people's lives. This is a popular dance activity, and everyone can participate. It has the characteristics of simple form and easy to master, including religious dance, custom dance, social dance, religious sacrifice dance, sports dance, self-entertainment dance, educational dance and so on.

2. Artistic dance refers to dancers observing and experiencing social life, sticking to the chosen theme, summarizing concentrated artistic creation, with complete form, distinctive theme and specific content, and shaping a perfect artistic image. Artistic dance pays attention to depicting people's inner activities and changes, conveying feelings and expressing thoughts, reflecting reality, and highly refining the language and skills of dance.
