What are the uses of braids in dance?

Dance style, dance movements, etc.

1, dance style: The shape and style of braids can reflect different dance styles. For example, in traditional Chinese dance, female dancers will comb their hair into a bun and weave one or more braids above the bun, which reflects the dignity, elegance and femininity of women in traditional China culture. In modern dance, female dancers will choose to spread their hair and weave their braids into more free and casual shapes, which embodies the freedom, openness and personality of women in modern dance.

2, dance movements: The length and weight of the braid can affect the dancer's movements and postures. For example, in some dance movements that are about to jump or roll, long hair will affect the dancer's movement fluency and flexibility, and combing the hair in a short braid can better protect the hair and improve the dancer's movement fluency and flexibility.
