Classical dance: based on national folk dance, it has been refined, sorted, processed and created by professional workers in past dynasties and passed down through long-term artistic practice.

European classical dance generally refers to ballet.

Folk dance: it is a dance form created, accumulated and developed by the broad masses in the long historical process and widely circulated among the masses. It directly reflects people's thoughts, feelings, ideals and aspirations. Due to the differences in people's life and work style, historical and cultural mentality, customs and natural environment in different countries, nationalities and regions, different national styles and local characteristics have been formed.

Modern dance: it is a dance genre that rose in Europe and America at the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
