Inheritance and Innovation of Folk Dance

On the Inheritance and Innovation of Folk Dance

Chinese folk dance has a long history. The dance art of more than 50 ethnic groups is rich and colorful, just like a bright gem in China's cultural treasure house. It is the unshirkable responsibility of our generation of dancers to explore and carry forward these treasures and inherit and develop various folk dance arts. Below, I searched and sorted out the inheritance and innovation of folk dance for you. Welcome to read, I hope it will help you! For more information, please continue to pay attention to our fresh graduates training network!

The geographical environment, social history, economy, culture, customs and habits of all ethnic groups living and reproducing in different areas are different, and the dances of all ethnic groups have unique styles, charms and performance forms. In teaching, the choice of teaching materials should be representative first. The teaching materials of each kind of folk dance should be the most representative of the distinctive style and characteristics of the nation, the most flexible and expressive value of training, and the perfect combination of the most representative music and special movements. At the beginning of teaching, it is necessary to introduce the style, characteristics, musical features and basic body movements of folk dance, so that students can have a rational understanding and a clear concept, which can help students find its rhythm and style faster and more accurately when learning movements and combinations, and make it manifest in actions. Teachers should not blindly pursue the consistency of actions in teaching. For example, in the basic dynamic flexion and extension exercise of Dai dance, you can lift your legs every time you start. Teachers can tell students that this is a feeling of squatting slowly and jumping quickly, but you can't stipulate how much the students must lift their legs, where they are and how much they kick their hips. In some special cases, if you want to be neat, such as in group dance, the teacher can ask for it, otherwise you should not ask for death. Because this kind of teaching virtually limits the footwork of Dai dance, it is difficult to break away from the original familiar rhythm when changing, developing and innovating. Once the footwork changes slightly, other parts may not be able to coordinate with it, resulting in the loss of the charm and style of the original folk dance. The original movement is gone, and the new movement is not found, which is not conducive to the development and innovation of folk dance. Our innovation must be based on the inheritance of the original style and characteristics, and cannot be divorced from the special regularity of the original folk dance. Inheritance is the inheritance of the traditional characteristics and basic laws of all ethnic groups, rather than wholesale copying and dogmatic imitation. For another example, the arm movements in Korean women's dance should be as soft as willows and have strong relaxation. There is no need to emphasize that one hand is close to the side, the tip is above the shoulder, the position of one hand is three, and the position of the other hand is flat on the shoulder. Just tell them the law of arm movement, relax their wrists and walk with their arms on their wrists. This kind of teaching can create a broader and freer world for the development and expression of dance performance and movements, and gradually pass the practice on the basis of not losing the original style of folk dance.

For thousands of years, all ethnic groups have lived and interacted closely in the big family of the Chinese nation, influencing each other in political, economic and cultural life, and also having the same side. Therefore, apart from its unique style, all national dances can find similarities in strength, skill or form. Teachers should grasp the similarities and differences of various folk dances in teaching and conduct comparative teaching, which is conducive to students' acceptance and acceptance. For example, when we are learning Dai dance, the rhythm of moving rhythm is generally even, and the movement is slow and smooth. Teachers can take different ocean yangko as examples to introduce and compare them to students. The dynamic law of ocean yangko is different. While maintaining its toughness (heavy and affordable), it should also have sharp edges and corners, showing the distinctive characteristics of Shandong people's simplicity, boldness, tenacity and flexibility. On the other hand, Dai people are pure, lively, cheerful, gentle and affectionate. Through this comparison, students can better understand the movement law of Dai dance and its internal relations and differences with other folk dances. On the other hand, you can also imagine that if the basic dynamic laws and movements of Dai dance are slightly combined with the corners of the rhythm of ocean yangko, it will become a Dai dance with another temperament. The times are advancing, life is changing with each passing day, and the character and temperament of people who walk with the times are also changing. It is the task of our generation of dancers to reflect the personality and emotional characteristics of contemporary ethnic minorities. Therefore, this method should have great advantages and be conducive to the development and innovation of folk dance.

Folk dance comes from its self-entertainment and life, so its development and innovation cannot be separated from this primitive mentality. It comes from people, from people entertaining themselves and expressing their inner feelings. It is also developed in people's increasingly rich emotional experience, life experience and cheerful feelings. Therefore, it is particularly important to create inspiring teaching in folk dance teaching. Only through people with modern life and modern inner emotional experience can they express themselves in strong self-realization and free and happy self-entertainment passion. On the basis of folk dance with local characteristics, it is also a purposeful dance teaching method.

The inheritance and innovation of folk dance is an arduous and long-term project, and how to improve the teaching quality of folk dance is an important topic worthy of long-term exploration and exploration. Predecessors and hard-working dance educators have set many examples for us and made many rare achievements. On the basis of predecessors, we should continue to practice and explore, strive to master and apply the laws of national folk dance, innovate in inheritance and develop in exploration, so that our national folk dance art will shine more brilliantly in the treasure house of world national dance art;
