What are the most basic elements of dance works?

Dance steps, postures, expressions and movements are the most basic elements of dance works.

Dance is a complex art, which combines many different elements, such as dance steps, postures, expressions, movements, etc., and constitutes the basic elements of dance. Dance step is the rhythm or flowing movement used in dancing, and it can also specify the style of dancing, while posture refers to the dancer's body posture and standing posture, which can show the dancer's heroic spirit and temperament.

Expressions can express dancers' mood and breath, while movements represent dancers' stage and can play their dance language. Therefore, it is very important to combine these basic elements effectively for dance performance. Dancers need to master them and how to combine them effectively to express their thoughts and emotions, so as to create excellent dance works.

The characteristics of dance:

Dance movements in dance works should also have certain skills, and dancers should have high-level skills such as jumping, rotating, tumbling, softening and controlling. However, performing high-level skills in dance works is not an end in itself, but a means to express characters' thoughts and feelings and shape their character and mental outlook.

If the means is the purpose in dance works, the superb skills of the actors are not based on reflecting life and expressing the thoughts and feelings of the characters, or the corresponding dance action skills are not selected according to the dance content.

Instead, it shows the dancers' skills and abilities, which will make the dance works fail because of the disconnection between content and form, or the lack of artistic integrity, and the dancers' skills themselves will fall into acrobatic skill performances, thus losing the basic character of dance art.
