Dance Culture and Aesthetics by Renmin University of China Press

Strictly speaking, it is a dance phenomenon that consciously regards dance as an aesthetic object and at the same time consciously regards dance as an artistic means to shape human self-image. To understand the dance as an aesthetic object, on the one hand, we need to understand the dance with natural history and culture, on the other hand, we need to understand the principle of action coordination and motivation development in dance aesthetics. This book does not list the image-building and morphological evolution of dance art works, but helps readers enter the door of dance aesthetics through the typical analysis of dance art works.

Dance Culture Ren Fang Sichuan University Press

The main content of dance culture: dance, as an art of human action and a special cultural phenomenon, has really adapted to the production mode and lifestyle of a specific nation. It takes the body as a symbol, and in the long historical development process, it has formed a unique symbol system of this nation, which preserves and conveys its values and behavior. The development of dance in China and the West, which we briefly listed earlier, fully confirmed this point. In these historical and realistic dances, the historical and ecological imprints of this nation are deeply contained, and these imprints all contain rich cultural connotations. Dance culture tries to reveal the deep cultural reasons for the development of modern and contemporary dance in China.

Introduction of Dance Culture Park Yong Guang Central University for Nationalities Press

Determining the research object of objective reality is the premise and foundation of establishing a science. The research object of introduction to dance culture is dance culture. The concept of "dance" has broad sense and narrow sense. In a narrow sense, "dance" refers to stage art dance; "Dance" in a broad sense includes not only stage art dance, but also folk dances for self-entertainment, fitness, sacrifice and entertainment. Introduction to Dance Culture refers to human dance phenomenon as generalized dance culture. Therefore, "Introduction to Dance Culture" takes all kinds of human dance behaviors as the research object, focusing on the basic theories of all kinds of dance behaviors, involving the occurrence, development, form and function of all kinds of dances, and then makes a general discussion on these theories. In this sense, we call An Introduction to Dance Culture an Introduction to Dance Culture. As the basic theory of a discipline, we are first presented with many concepts, which are the basis of constructing the theory and the premise for us to understand and master the theory. Secondly, it focuses on the basic principles, that is, the principle of dance occurrence and development and the principle of dance classification, and summarizes the characteristics and functions of dance culture and even dance types. To this end, the first chapter discusses dance culture from a macro perspective; The second chapter analyzes the formal elements of dance culture from the micro level; The next chapter studies the types of dance from a middle perspective, so that our analysis and explanation can form a combination of whole or general research and individual or unique research. Therefore, readers are expected to have a deeper understanding of the commonness of dance culture and the individuality of dance species.
