What is your understanding of dance?

Dance is an artistic expression of time and space and a dynamic plastic art. It expresses inner feelings through artistic human movements, that is, through coordinated, rhythmic and aesthetic movements, postures, shapes, action combinations and action processes. It is the objectification of human aesthetic consciousness and emotional expression in the dynamic form of human body, and it is the concrete achievement of dance art labor.

Dance is a performing art, which uses the body to complete various elegant or difficult movements, usually accompanied by music, and rhythmic movements are the main means of expression.

Dance itself has a variety of social significance and functions, including sports, social/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.

In fact, john martin's monograph on Duncan and basic dance is about "dance" itself.

Create a detached, ethereal and elegant aesthetic realm. The outstanding characteristics of expression are exaggeration and deformation, and the pursuit of artistic truth beyond the normal form, aiming at mobilizing the imagination of the audience and completing the creation of aesthetic images, thus having unique artistic charm.
