Hehe, I don't study dance, so I searched an article for you. I hope you can learn from it. The science of making a comprehensive, systematic and historical study of dance art. Dance science includes three main parts: dance theory, dance history and dance appreciation. Dance theory studies the relationship between dance art and social real life, its characteristics and its development law. Dance, like other arts, is a social ideology that reflects human social life. The main difference between dance and other arts lies in the difference of artistic expression tools and means. The main expression tool of dance art is the human body, and the main expression means is the dance movements of the human body. Dance is one of the oldest art forms that reflect human social life with the dynamic image of human body. Dance originated from the simulated reproduction of productive labor, fighting and social life, totem worship and the inner impulse to express and exchange thoughts and feelings. From simple simulation to complex generalization is an inevitable process of the development of dance art. It is the development process of dance art from primary to advanced, from the self-entertainment, sociality and etiquette of the masses to the expression of complex and diverse social life content, forming various dance forms and genres. In the historical development of dance art, in order to expand the scope of expressing the theme of life and enrich the expressive ability of dance art, dancers constantly draw nutrition from art forms such as literature, drama, music and art, and gradually form a highly developed comprehensive stage performance art. Dance originated from life and has a positive role and influence on life. Dance art has cognitive function, educational function, aesthetic function, entertainment function, friendship function and fitness function. The research of dance theory can be divided into two categories: basic theory and applied theory. The basic theory of dance mainly includes: the relationship between dance and life and their interaction, the essence and characteristics of dance art, the origin and development of dance, the content and form of dance, the types and genres of dance, and the relationship between dance and other arts. Dance application theory mainly includes: dance creation theory (or dance choreography theory), dance performance theory and dance education theory. The theory of dance creation mainly studies the general laws of dance creation, the special laws of various genres of dance creation, the process of dance creation, the methods of dance creation, and the professional knowledge, ability and skills that a choreographer should have. The theory of dance performance mainly studies how dancers use their own bodies as tools and means to create vivid dance images, profoundly reflect and express extensive and rich social life content, and make the audience strongly infected and inspired ideologically and emotionally in the aesthetic activities of dance, and be cultivated and purified; And the conditions, professional knowledge and skills that dancers should have. The theory of dance education mainly studies the cultivation and training methods of various professional dance talents such as creation, performance, teaching and theoretical research, the setting of compulsory professional courses and the principles of teaching syllabus. Through the training of various dance talents, it is expected to maintain its scientific and systematic nature in inheriting, preserving, creating, developing, improving and popularizing dance culture. Due to the richness and complexity of dance art and the different research methods and emphases, the research of dance theory will inevitably develop in many aspects and produce various new disciplines. If we study dance from the perspectives of sociology (including folklore, ethics), aesthetics, psychology and physiology, some new disciplines such as dance sociology, dance aesthetics, dance psychology and anatomy physiology in dance will form and develop. Since the 1980s, some dance theorists in China have begun to study and explore these disciplines, and have achieved certain results, published some academic works, and are still in the pioneering construction stage. Dance history belongs to the category of history and is an important part of dance science. This paper mainly studies the historical development process and law of dance art, and makes an objective historical evaluation of some famous dancers and dance works that promote the progress and development of dance art in history. The existence and development of dance art in any era are restricted by its social and economic foundation, and also influenced by its social politics, ideology, ethics, aesthetic consciousness, cultural and artistic trends of thought. It is also an important topic in dance history to study the development of dance art from content to form in each historical period and the relationship between material life and spiritual life at that time, as well as the exchange activities of dance culture of various countries and nationalities to promote the prosperity and development of dance art. To study the history of dance from a historical perspective, we should start with the historical phenomenon of dance, sort out the clues of the development of dance history and show the development process of dance history; From the perspective of dance science, it is required to further explore the objective law of dance historical development through the development process of dance history and explain it theoretically, so as to achieve the combination of historical research and logical research. By studying the historical process and development law of dance art in the past, we can better understand and understand the present situation of dance development today, and predict the future development direction of dance art from the objective law of dance historical development. Dance art is a very rich and diverse cultural heritage of human beings, and we must study its history by classification. If divided by countries and regions, there are national, regional and global dance histories. For example, China dance history, European dance history; World dance history, etc. According to the form and genre of dance art, there are the history of China dance drama, the history of China national dance, the history of world ballet and the history of European and American modernist dance. If divided by times, there is a general history of dance and a dynastic history of dance; China's dance history can be divided into China's ordinary dance history, China's ancient dance history and China's modern dance history. Further subdivided, the history of ancient dance in China can be divided into the history of dance in Tang Dynasty and the history of dance in Song Dynasty. Dance appreciation is the most active, mass and social aspect in dance science. It is a science that studies how dance appreciation, dance criticism and dance works realize and strengthen their social effects. It is closely related to the choreographer, the creation and performance of dancers and the aesthetic art practice of the public. Dance appreciation mainly studies the nature and function of dance appreciation, the relationship between dance appreciation and dance creation and dance criticism, the subjective and objective conditions that dance appreciation activities should have, and the * * * phenomenon and psychological characteristics in dance appreciation. Dance criticism is an evaluation of the creation and performance of specific dance works. Although its research object should focus on the practice of contemporary dance art, it should also give a historical evaluation of the past dance art, sum up their successful experiences and failed lessons, and give a theoretical explanation. Dance criticism in each era is restricted by people's historical view of dance and aesthetic taste of dance in that era, so dance criticism activities must be based on certain dance theory and historical view of dance, and at the same time dance criticism in turn affects the development of dance theory and historical view of dance. The main task of dance criticism is to make an ideological and artistic analysis of specific dance works (a certain work, several works of the same or similar nature, works created and performed by a dancer, etc.). ), make an objective evaluation, point out the achievements and shortcomings, thus affecting the audience and improving the audience's ability to appreciate and identify dance art; At the same time, it reflects the demands and voices of the audience, so that the choreographers and actors can understand the likes and dislikes of the audience and attach importance to the objective social effects, which will have a positive impact on the future dance art practice. Therefore, dance criticism is a bridge between dancers and audiences and an important part of the development and prosperity of dance creation.
