2 the aesthetic characteristics of dance art

(1) Dance originates from life and is higher than life. Dance is an art that cannot be divorced from the reality of life, and social life has always been an objective entity. The diversity of society and the living conditions of human beings provide it with rich materials and various forms of expression for the art of dance. In the dance operation, it expresses the truth, goodness and beauty in life according to certain social phenomena. These phenomena are unified and summarized, and excellent dance works are formed, which inspire, infect and inspire people with the unique charm of dance art. No matter what form of dance, it has the essence of originating from life and being higher than life. For example, laundry dance is a typical dance, which shows the spirit of unity and friendship between the army and the people through the traditional songs and dances of the Tibetan people. At the same time, folk songs are linked with tap dancing, which is formed by beautifying, refining and processing life stories. Its main plot is: a group of Tibetan girls who went to fetch water by the river met PLA soldiers who wanted to wash clothes by the river; So this group of girls tricked the soldiers into washing clothes and washed them clean. When these soldiers came back, they found this phenomenon and used their quick wits to help Tibetan girls carry water. The whole dance has been running forward with buckets, and the lively scene of Tibetan girls chasing after them with their favorite clothes is over. This laundry dance not only represents the daily life of residents, but also has many touching implications. Because of its novel materials, simple structure and far-reaching ideas, it has been loved by the general public since its creation. This aesthetic feature, which stems from the fact that life is higher than life, endows the works with independent and feasible space, and shows a unique side in both theme and expression. It requires the author to focus on the innovation of artistic conception, rather than showing the dance image to the audience blindly. Because innovation has always been the eternal condition of works of art, we can enjoy beauty in the process of being affirmed and appreciated. From the essence of dance, aesthetic feeling mainly exists in independent creation; The so-called new work should not only have expectations, but also make sense. To a large extent, human beings will have a sense of beauty for innovative materials. As the source of the whole artistic aesthetic feeling, the theme of the work must be true and moving, and the work should be further explained in artistic innovation. For example, Lotus Dance, as a work widely loved by dancers, has achieved such great success mainly because it has brought aesthetic feeling and new ideas to the audience. In the early stage of creation, inspired by Lotus Lantern, the dancers further created and processed the artistic image, and both the essence and the image changed greatly, which made the audience sing in appreciation.

(2) The perfect combination of narrative and lyric. The ancient prose "Preface to Mao Poetry" once said, "Emotion moves in the middle, moves in words, words are insufficient, and ancient sighs, so swimming songs are insufficient, feet dance, and hands dance." This also shows that when people are excited, they can't help dancing. The characteristic of expressing emotion in dance is the unity of God and action, which expresses feelings with body movements and gives people an intuitive image. It can be seen that the best way to express emotions is dancing. Although it has no lines and polite language narration in film and television works, it often uses corresponding scenes and music to describe events in real life. In the art form of dance, analogy and symbolism are often used to express stories and emotions through beautiful and silent body language. In the appreciation of dance art, the audience can give full play to their imagination, master the story and experience the feelings contained in the dance by understanding the dancer's dance melody and dance posture. For example, the representative ballet "Swan Lake", in this work, at first, the prince meets the swan, which is a classical ballet for two. Through the facial expressions and body movements of the performers, it shows Aogueta's psychological transformation from vigilance and fear to trust and reassurance, and the transformation process of finally budding love. In this dance, there are no language descriptions and lines, but the emotions of the protagonist are vividly described.

(3) Aesthetic features of virtual symbols. As a summary of life phenomena, dance is not an intuitive chronicle, but a virtual symbol of artistic expression to further show aesthetic characteristics. In the process of dance performance, dancers' gestures and body movements are used instead of language, thus further embodying thoughts and feelings and showing the story. Therefore, if you don't understand the aesthetic characteristics, people who are new to dance will show the feeling of "don't understand". In ballet, dance is displayed in a handful of ways through dance and emotional movements. For example, The Battle Drum of Jinshan, starring dancer Wang Xia, is an emotional work as a whole, but some parts are chronicles. When the performer stood on the drum to explore the military situation and was unfortunately shot by an arrow, the performer held his chest tightly with his hand, made a rear axle movement on the drum surface, gradually formed an arch, and finally rolled off the drum. In this dance design, lyric is the main genre, and in the process of visual chronicle, the injured and painful scenes are displayed, and then the details are enlarged to express the characters, so as to achieve the effect of combining subjective chronicle with virtual symbols.

(4) Skillful and comprehensive aesthetic features. As the core factor of the transformation of dance art, the content of dance deduction must be based on myths and legends and daily life, and its theme psychology is to complete difficult skills. Usually, multi-turn rotation and jumping are difficult movements, which must be carried out according to the softness of dance movements while embodying artistry. Dance is not only a cultural form and art, but also represents the characteristics of a nation and a country, so it has a broad deductive scope and creative field. As a diversified and multi-level process, dance aesthetics is difficult to complete only by aesthetic characteristics, and it must be combined with various forms to show artistic beauty.

As a unique form of expression, dance art has unique aesthetic characteristics. In real life and study, we must improve artistic accomplishment and dance art from all aspects according to aesthetic characteristics.
