What kinds of dances are there?

Dance is an art, which can cultivate people's temperament. There are many kinds of dances, which can be roughly divided into seven kinds, namely classical dance, ballet, folk dance, modern dance, tap dance and jazz dance.

Let me introduce these seven dances in detail!

1, classical dance:

Classical dance has been refined, sorted, processed and created by professional workers in past dynasties, and has been tested by long-term artistic practice. It is considered to be a dance with certain demonstration significance and classical style characteristics.

Many countries and nations in the world have their own unique styles of classical dance. Throughout the world, various countries have gradually accumulated and formed traditional dances with exemplary significance and unique style in the long history of their own nation.

2. Ballet:

Ballet is a European classical dance. One of the most important characteristics of ballet is that the actress points to the ground with her toes during the performance, so it is also called tiptoe dance. Ballet is to use music and dance skills to perform dramatic plots.

The first ballet in the history of ballet growth, The Queen's Comedy Ballet, was staged on 158 1. When Margaret Mies of Lorraine married Duke Yao Yousi of Fancier, the soundtrack of this ballet still remained, which can be regarded as the oldest ballet music.

3. National Dance:

National dance, also known as folk dance, generally refers to a dance form that is produced and spread among the people, restricted by folk culture, improvised but relatively stable in style, with self-entertainment as its main function. China folk dance is a branch of China dance, which was founded in the early 1950s. It effectively investigates, collects and sorts out the folk dances of all ethnic groups, and recreates them through processing.

4, folk dance:

Folk dance originated from human labor life. It is a mass dance activity created and performed by the people to show the cultural traditions, living customs and people's mental outlook of a nation or region, so it is also called "folk dance".

Folk dances are mostly group dances with singing and dancing, and the dance movements are varied, each with its own national and local characteristics. The contents of these dances include hunting life, war experience, totem belief and reproductive worship in ancient primitive society, entertainment activities of various traditional festivals in modern life, and some are permeated with the legacy of various folk customs, sacrifices and etiquette activities.

5, modern dance:

Modern dance is a dance school that rose in the west in the early 20th century, as opposed to classical ballet. Its main aesthetic point of view is to oppose the formalism tendency of classical ballet, which is conformist, divorced from real life and simply pursuing skills. It advocates getting rid of the rigid movement procedure of classical ballet, freely expressing people's true feelings with dance movements that conform to the laws of natural movement, and emphasizes that dance art should reflect modern social life.

6. Tap dancing:

Tap dancing is a modern dance. The North American colonies were formed in the 1920s of 18. At that time, Irish immigrants and African slaves brought their folk dances to the North American colonies and gradually merged to form a new dance form.

This kind of dance is open and free, without many formal restrictions. Dancers don't pay attention to body dancing, but pay attention to the complex technique of hitting with the rhythm of toes and heels. Tap dancing depends on the rhythm of different dance music, mainly by tapping shoes to make a "tap dancing" sound.

7, jazz dance:

Jazz dance Jazz dance is a dynamic and creative personal improvisation. It is a fast and dynamic rhythmic dance, which belongs to extroverted dance, unlike the introverted dance shown by classical dance and ballet. Jazz dance was originally an extension of African dance, brought to the United States by black people who were sold as slaves, and gradually evolved into a localized popular dance in the United States.
