Introduction to Dance: It is a kind of performing art, which uses the body to complete various elegant or difficult movements, usually accompanied by music, with rhythmic movements as the main means of expression. It usually uses music and other props. Dance itself has multiple social meanings and functions, including sports, socialization, courtship, sacrifice, etiquette and so on.

Before the origin of human civilization, dance was very important in ceremony, etiquette, celebration and entertainment. Dance appeared in China five thousand years ago. It was born in slave society and developed into a certain feature in Qin and Han Dynasties.

Dance movements in dance works should also have certain skills, and dancers should have high-level skills such as jumping, rotating, tumbling, softening and controlling. However, performing high-level skills in dance works is not an end in itself, but a means to express characters' thoughts and feelings and shape their character and mental outlook.

If the means are the purpose in dance works, and the superb skills of the actors are not based on reflecting life and expressing the thoughts and feelings of the characters, but on showing the dance skills and abilities mastered by the actors, the dance works will fall into acrobatic skill performance, and the basic character of dance art will be lost because of the disconnection between content and form.
