Yi dance is a kind of dance that is popular in Yi areas. Song and dance are an important part of Yi people's life. Its forms are rich and colorful, and most of them imitate the movements during productive labor. Ancient dances include cockfighting and sheep fighting, which imitate animal images, symbolizing the "jumping hairpin" and "knife dance" of war and celebrating the bumper harvest. In the Yi people's New Year celebrations, we can see the dance forms of "bamboo horse" and "stilts" from the Central Plains culture. Modern Yi stilts retain and develop their acrobatic features. When the Yi people hold ceremonies to worship their ancestors and pray for a bumper harvest, they can see wood drum, bronze drum and sheepskin drum. These dances were performed by the wizards Bimo and Su Ye [1]. When playing drums, the main dance vocabulary is to swing shoulders, chest and hips quickly. In addition, in the dances such as "Jumping Palace" and "Jumping Armor" performed in the "Jumping Palace Festival", traces of ancient hunting and inter-tribal wars, as well as sacrificial ceremonies and dance scenes of soldiers' expeditions, battles and triumphs, are still preserved to express their nostalgia and praise for ancient heroes.
