Why social life is the source of dance creation

Sociologists tell us that dance originates from life, and life is inseparable from dance. It is an indisputable fact that dance has played an indispensable role in enriching the life of the masses while constantly satisfying people's aesthetic needs and giving them beautiful enjoyment and healthy entertainment. In the process of expression in the form of "movement", dance directly or indirectly plays a role in the unity of various ethnic groups in social life, as well as the role of innovating and changing society.

In addition, through the depiction of vivid images and rich and colorful content, dance cultivates people's moral sentiments and noble qualities, and inspires people's optimistic and enterprising spirit. It has played an important role in improving people's spiritual realm and aesthetic ability. In short, dance serves as a kind of spiritual food for people.

As dancers in the new era, we should constantly improve our ideological, moral and cultural quality, and constantly improve our creative level and expressive ability, so as to create more and more dance masterpieces that reflect the spirit of the times and have Chinese style.

Primitive dance is a form of primitive human culture, and it is not yet a conscious entertainment or artistic creation. Dance in our country was closely related to the lives of people at that time. It can be divided into four categories.

The first is to reflect the prayer activities related to productive labor or simple rent. This type of dance is mostly an imitation of certain production processes.

The second is to reflect the love of sex and the prayer activities related to it. In primitive societies, this type of dance contained the worship of the genitals and the desire for clan reproduction.

The third is to reflect the war and the prayers associated with it. This type of dance mainly depicts struggle, pain, victory, death, and sometimes starvation and the killing of prisoners to sacrifice ancestors or compatriots who died in battle, and its tone is excited, fierce and even terrifying.

Fourth, it reflects the worship of natural gods, such as the ritual of sacrifice to the sun, the moon, the wind, the rain, the mountains, the river, and the dance in funeral and other custom activities.

From the Xia Shang to the Zhou Dynasty, the sacrificial rituals were gradually separated from witchcraft. In the court, sacrificial music and dance, which embodied the political etiquette of the state and were used for the education of the nobility, were formed; In the folk, the sacrificial rituals to ancestors and gods have gradually been separated from witchcraft, forming mass singing and dancing activities in festivals.

According to the role and purpose of dance, dance can be divided into two categories: life dance and art dance. There are six types of life dances: custom dance, religious sacrifice dance, social dance, self-entertainment dance, sports dance, and educational dance.

Artistic dance can be divided into the following three types: 1. According to the different style characteristics of dance, it can be divided into four categories: classical dance, folk dance, modern dance and new style dance. 2. According to the characteristics of the genre and style of dance expression, it can be divided into eight categories: solo dance, pas de deux, trio dance, group dance, group dance, song and dance, song and dance drama, and dance drama.

3. According to the method of reflecting the real life of society and the characteristics of shaping the image of dance, it can be divided into three categories: lyrical dance, narrative dance and dramatic dance. Therefore, there are many classifications of dance, all of which are the results of the accumulation of working people in their long-term lives.

There are many scholars in China who advocate the theory that dance originated from labor, because labor is the first need for human survival and development, and it is labor that creates man himself, it is labor that separates man from the animal kingdom, and it is labor that creates human society. In the dances of primitive people, hunting and planting, as well as various kinds of labor life, occupy the largest proportion.

Dance itself has multiple social meanings and functions, including sports, socialization, courtship, sacrifice, etiquette, etc. Before the dawn of human civilization, dance was important in rituals, rituals, celebrations and entertainment. Dance appeared in China 5,000 years ago, and it was born in a slave society, and it had developed into a certain characteristic by the time of the Qin and Han dynasties.

The characteristics of the dance

The dance movements in the dance works should also have a certain degree of skill, and the dancers should have the ability to jump, spin, somersault, soft, control and other difficult skills, but the performance of difficult technical movements in dance works is not an end in itself, but a means to express the thoughts and feelings of the characters, and shape the character and spiritual outlook of the characters.

If the means are the end and the actors' superb skills are not based on reflecting life and expressing the thoughts and feelings of the characters as the premise of their existence, or if the corresponding dance movement skills are not selected based on the dance content, but on the display of the dance skills and abilities mastered by the actors, the dance works will fail due to the disconnection between content and form, or the lack of artistic integrity.

The dancer's skill itself has been reduced to acrobatic performance, and the basic character of dance art has been lost.

Many choreography methods are based on many small details in life, and dancing can regulate mood, shape and cultivate tenacity.

Culture is generally divided into three levels: high culture, including philosophy, literature, art, religion, etc.; Popular culture, which refers to customs, rituals, and lifestyles that include food, clothing, housing, transportation, and interpersonal relationships; Deep culture mainly refers to the definition of beauty and ugliness of values, time orientation, pace of life, way of solving problems, and personal roles related to gender, class, occupation, and kinship. Both high culture and popular culture are rooted in deep culture, and a certain concept of deep culture is reflected in mass culture in the form of a custom or way of life, and in a high culture in the form of an art form or literary theme.

As a kind of art, dance is to use dance movements as the main means of artistic expression, focusing on the expression of language or other means of artistic expression, people's inner and deep spiritual world - delicate emotions, profound thoughts, distinctive characters, and the contradictions and conflicts between man and nature, man and society, between people and people, and within people, to create a vivid dance image that can be perceived by people, so as to express the aesthetic emotions and aesthetic ideals of the dance author, and reflect the aesthetic attributes of life.

Therefore, dance, as a component of high-level culture, is a very important culture.
