What's the difference between folk dance and classical dance?

Folk dance generally refers to a kind of dance form which is produced and spread among the people, restricted by folk culture, improvised but relatively stable in style, with self-entertainment as its main function. Let me introduce the difference between folk dance and classical dance. Welcome to read!

What's the difference between folk dance and classical dance? 1 first, the technical requirements are different;

Classical dance requires higher skills and the flexibility of the actors.

Due to the different types of dances, the requirements of national dances are also different. Some need to have strong control over musical instruments (such as the top bowl of Mongolian dance), and some need to better grasp the body posture (such as the "three bends" of Dai dance).

Second, the degree of patterning is different;

The formation time of classical dance is short. Although there is a complete system, with the continuous influx of new ideas, its variability is great.

National dance has a long history, and the dances of various ethnic groups are very different, but the degree of patterning is very high.

Third, the emotional tone of dancers is different;

Classical dancers need more emotional changes on the stage, including joy and sadness. They should handle their feelings more delicately. A look and a smile should be quite in place.

The overall emotional tone of folk dance is high, lively and unrestrained, full of joy and no melancholy.

Fourth, the visual experience is different when watching;

The classical dancers on the stage look like a brush when they look down. When they "pick up the pen", they sometimes turn their heads, but when they look up, they are like dancing notes on a staff, which changes greatly from time to time.

Folk dance is more often to create a grand scene, just like a picture scroll of activities on the stage. Every actor is an indispensable and brightest element in the picture.

5. Different historical and cultural connotations.

Generally speaking, classical dance shows the depth of China's history and culture, while folk dance shows the breadth of China's history and culture.

Classical dance bears a heavy historical and cultural background, and major historical events and important historical figures frequently appear in classical dance works, from which we can see its unique background and humanistic features in a period. Even if there are some fictional events and some fictional characters in the works, the events have profound significance and the characters have distinct personalities. Generally speaking, classical dance should be the product of the vertical integration of China's dance history, which shows the overall characteristics of China's historical and cultural development.

National dance originates from work and life, and shows some trivial things in the daily work and life of people of all ethnic groups. However, these trifles are not meaningless. From this, we can see the inherent meaning of human desire to return to nature, the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance between people and people's yearning for a quiet life. A comprehensive understanding of national dance can help us understand the history and culture of China, because it fully shows the characteristics of each nation, and it is undisguised and original.

What's the difference between folk dance and classical dance?

Learning to dance is not only following imitators carefully (teaching dancers), but also studying carefully, including movements, rhythms, body positions, directions, opinions ... never letting go of any details. The dance movements learned at this stage require that the more like (teaching dancers), the better. In the eyes of dancers, the object of imitation is clear and magnified.

When dancers gradually learn to master dance movements and body movements, they begin to feel the beauty of dance, and at the same time, the object of imitation (teaching dancers) begins to fade. They can figure out how to make their movements better, properly integrate into their own style, and try their best to make their movements reach the perfect position. In other words, different people can jump out of different styles for the same dance.

Exercise:

Persevere and practice dancing whenever possible. Don't concentrate on activities. You can practice both at home and on business trips. You can practice in front of the mirror when you can, so that you can find out which actions are wrong in time and can't correct them in time, and avoid unconsciously forming habits. It's hard to change Regular practice can maintain a good figure and physical strength, maintain the proper coordination of the body in dance (because dance requires the body to move harmoniously and elegantly in music), and improve cultural literacy.

Listening to melodious music and being familiar with the rhythm of music are of great benefit to dancing. It also plays a role in cultivating sentiment and purifying the soul. The ancient Greeks said, "Music is the gymnastics of the soul", which is true.

Performance:

Use "heart" to perform and express.

When performing, you should be completely immersed in the artistic conception of music and be full of emotion. Don't perform rigidly and dogmatically, but perform for the sake of performance, which will be expressionless and infectious, and will be as tasteless as boiled water. At the same time, we should also pay attention to moderation, which will make people feel exaggerated, cautious and posturing. In short, vent and integrate emotions from the heart.

be sure of oneself

I believe that you are the most beautiful at this moment (on the stage), and self-confidence comes from your usual efforts and full preparation. With affirmation and strength, you can have a root in your heart, otherwise you are not confident, and you are prone to timid, alcoholic and vague emotions and actions during the performance.

It is necessary to participate in more performances, experience and comprehend on the spot, and accumulate experience and sum up with heart. Because other people's feelings and experiences may not be suitable for everyone, we must "know" ourselves to improve.
