What is the connotation of dance?

Dance, an art, the human body itself is its material carrier. It takes refined (typical), organized (rhythmic) and beautified (sculptural) human movements as the main artistic expression means. It emphasizes the expression of people's inner spiritual world-delicate emotions, profound thoughts, distinctive personality, and the emotional implication that people can't express with language or other artistic expression means in the contradictions and conflicts of social life, so as to create a vivid dance image that can be perceived by people, to express the aesthetic feelings and ideals of the author-dancer (choreographer, actor) and to embody the aesthetic attributes of life. In a certain time and space, dance shapes the artistic image of dance through continuous dance movement process, concise posture expression and constantly flowing position graphics (changing pictures), combined with music, stage art (clothing, scenery, lighting, props) and other artistic means. Dance is a plastic art with space, time and comprehensive dynamics. As a social aesthetic form, dance originated from the imitation and reappearance of ancient human labor production (hunting, farming, etc.). ), combat drills, sexual activities, and the needs of totem worship, witchcraft, religious ceremonies and the expression of emotions, thoughts, consciousness and other inner spiritual worlds. Combining with poetry and music is one of the earliest art forms in human history. The aesthetic social function of dance art is the unity of aesthetic pleasure and aesthetic function. Dance is also an art form for people to engage in social communication, engage in cultural entertainment and promote physical and mental health, which has a wide mass.
