Do traditional Wushu have the same requirements for dance?

Shoulder-opening martial arts is different from dancing. It can be said that the purpose of shoulder opening is different. Shoulder opening in Wushu is to stretch and relax the bones and muscles of the body, increase the toughness of tendons and the density of bones, thus increasing the spacing between bones. During training, the small movements of the outer arm drive the inner joint to have a big stretch to achieve the effect of exerting force. Wu Li's shoulder opening can be divided into two types: outer shoulder opening and inner shoulder opening. Open shoulders are similar to dancing, mainly stretching bones, mainly for people who practice routines (of course, there is no difference between practicing routines and dancing now). It's important to open your shoulders inside. In many practitioners of Neijia Boxing, the internal things such as bones and bodies I mentioned before are mainly achieved by standing piles and measuring strength. Of course, these two methods of shoulder opening should be trained by martial arts practitioners, but the former is mostly for beginners and small basin friends. Dancing is just the pursuit of stretching, nothing else.
