Application of Dance Costume in National Dance

1, with colorful patterns and exquisite decoration, the decoration of dance costumes is closely related to the prosperity of local dances. Xi 'an Dance Studio said that one of the functions of ornaments is to beautify dancers and increase aesthetic feeling. The primitive ancestors of ethnic minorities have long realized this. Western Han tombs unearthed in Radish Bay, Gui County, Guangxi, have dance patterns painted on their waists. The dancer wore a tall and long feather crown, her upper body was bare, and her lower body was covered with a pair of skirts with short front and long back. There are patterns on it. They hold their heads high, open their arms, and work in pairs at a neat pace. The floral skirt and feathers swing slightly, making the dance more beautiful.

2. The sound made by ornaments can also enhance the sense of dance rhythm. One of the characteristics of dance is its rhythm. Any dance is rhythmic practice. Accompanied by the knocking sound of ornaments, it is the perfect combination of melody and dance beauty, and it is the embodiment of the superb aesthetics and expressive force of ethnic minorities. Gaoshan people are used to wearing bronze bells with them. When they dance hand in hand, "each dancer has a small copper bell hanging on his hand and back." When he jumped, the bells and songs were in tune, and the voices were intertwined into a happy scene. "Many ethnic minorities have special requirements for participants' clothing when holding festival song and dance activities.

Xi 'an Dance Studio said that the costumes worn in the song and dance celebrations are not simple copies of household costumes, but well-thought-out artistic processing. No matter the choice of materials, bright colors and exquisite ornaments are more concentrated and typical than daily clothes, so they have stronger national characteristics and echo the dance vocabulary with strong national culture, so that body language and clothing decoration can be perfectly integrated.
