Group dance is a form of dance that originated from American black soul songs, and its origin is closely related to the cultural and religious beliefs of American black people.

At that time, black Americans used dance to express their feelings and beliefs in the fields and churches in the south. Most of these dance moves are impromptu, with a strong sense of rhythm and rhythm.
The name of the group dance comes from the word "gospel" in American black soul songs, which means "gospel" In black soul songs, the gospels are usually described as a form of conveying God's will or revelation. Therefore, group dance is also called "gospel dance".
In the mid-20th century, group dance gradually developed into an independent dance form. At that time, some white dancers and choreographers began to pay attention to and explore this dance form. They integrated the rhythm and movements of black soul songs into their works, thus promoting the development of group dance.
The performance of group dance is usually performed on the stage, with various forms, such as solo dance, duet dance and group dance. In performances, dancers usually express their feelings and beliefs with large movements and strong expressions. At the same time, the dance movements are mainly improvisation, emphasizing the dancer's free play and personal style in the performance.
