This paper discusses and illustrates with examples what is the dance image and the aesthetic characteristics of its creation.

Dance image refers to the complete expression of thoughts, feelings and characters in dance. Dance image refers to depicting people's actions or personalities through dance, and embodying certain thoughts on the basis of real feelings. Details are as follows:

First, examples of dance images.

There are generally two explanations for the image of dance: one is the character image created by dance; The second is the dynamic image of dance.

The understanding of the connotation of dynamic image is also very inconsistent. For example, S. Langer thinks that dynamic image is an image that shows active power, which uses the "energy" or "force" of the dancer's body and muscles, but it is not the same as some kind of "illusory entity" of "energy" or "force" itself.

Others believe that everything created by dance means, whether it is the posture, modeling, pace, theme action, scene composition and formation change of dance, is a dynamic image of dance.

Such as the ballet masterpiece Swan Lake.

In this work, the encounter between the prince and the swan was originally a classic ballet for two. Through the performer's facial expressions and body movements, it shows the psychological transformation from vigilance and fear to trust and reassurance, and finally the transformation process of love. In this dance, there are no language descriptions and lines, but the emotions of the protagonist are vividly described.

Second, the aesthetic characteristics of dance image creation

1, dynamic formal beauty

Dance is a dynamic art form, and its dynamic characteristics are the most important part of its aesthetic characteristics. The fluency, stretching, flexibility and coordination of dance posture and movements are the most basic requirements of dance art.

Dancers show different emotions, forms and rhythms through various dynamic ways of their bodies in dance performances, and these dynamic forms of beauty can often give people an ultimate visual enjoyment.

2. Human beauty

Dancing requires dancers to have high physical control and quality. The dancer's own sense of beauty and action is the most important part of dance aesthetics. The physical beauty of dance includes not only the physical beauty and physical beauty of dancers, but also the influence of stage costumes, makeup and other factors in dance performances.

Through the expression of spirit and emotion, the physical beauty displayed by dancers is not only a visual feeling, but also an important embodiment of dance significance and artistic effect.

3. Instant beauty

Dance performance is a rhythmic and dynamic process, and the dancer's instantaneous posture, eyes and expression will affect the effect of dance works. The expression of key points is an indispensable part of the instantaneous aesthetic presentation of dancers.

Instantaneous aesthetic feeling is often another expression of a certain emotion or plot, which often makes the audience feel a meaningful moment, thus causing the audience to sing in their hearts.

4. Cultural connotation

A classical dance work is not only a dancer's physical performance, but also has rich cultural connotation. The cultural background of different periods and countries will bring different spiritual connotations to dance works.

Dancers need to carry out the spiritual connotation behind their works in their performances, and at the same time pay more attention to the inheritance of culture and characteristics, and show the sense of the times and cultural characteristics of their works.

5. Ideological demands

The creation of dance not only refers to the perfect integration of skills, gestures, music and costumes, but more importantly, it makes dance have unique aesthetic significance, emotional creativity and ideological appeal.

The value of dance art lies in that it can make the audience sing and feel the inner feelings and thoughts of the dancers. Dancers set an example and put emotions first, so that the audience can touch their inner world in the process of appreciation.

The characteristics of dance art:

1, rhythm

There are various styles of rhythmic strength, which can directly and obviously show the temperament, feelings and charm of dancers.

2. Dynamic

One of the most basic characteristics of dance art is dynamic. The so-called dynamic is that dance takes the trunk and limbs of the human body as the main tools, vividly reflects the spiritual world of objective things and characters through various postures and shapes, and shapes the dance image.

3. Strong lyricism

Dance is the most concentrated and wonderful expression of human feelings.

4. Virtual and symbolic

Another difference between dance and other performing arts is its virtuality and symbolism.

5. Modeling

Dance action is not a simulation of natural forms in life, but a basic unit of dance language refined, processed and beautified according to the laws of dance art.
