(A) Dai dance style.
The formation of Dai dance style is also related to the living habits of Dai people. Dai people have lived by water for generations and have deep feelings for water. The Dai people's own tough and enthusiastic personality characteristics are reflected in their lives. On this basis, the Central Plains culture and Southeast Asian culture are organically combined and uniformly applied to Dai dance, so that Dai dance has diversified cultural values.
The costumes of ethnic minorities are colorful, and the Dai people are no exception. Dai costumes have distinctive national characteristics. Dai women's tops are mostly satin or thin cloth, and the lower part is a tight skirt. This costume also promotes the formation of hook and kick dance steps in Dai dance. Dai people live in the mountainous areas in the southwest of China, with beautiful environment and charming scenery.
The Dai people live happily in this peaceful environment, which also provides a broad space for the formation of Dai dance. Dai people are hospitable, and Dai dance has profound national cultural connotation, which attracts a large number of tourists to stop and visit Dai villages every year.
Dai dance is also a big business card of Dai Zhang, and its style and characteristics are reflected in the gentle and quiet environment of Dai people.
(2) The characteristics of Dai dance.
1, the change of Dai dance style.
One of the characteristics of Dai dance is its beautiful and changeable dance forms, among which "one side is smooth" and "three bends" are typical modeling characteristics of Dai dance to express human beauty.
There are three bends in body movements, three bends in arm movements and three bends in legs. There are two factors in the formation of the three bends in Dai dance, one is influenced by totem worship, and the other is influenced by the natural environment, which affects the traditional costumes of Dai people and then affects the morphological changes of dance.
Influenced by totem, peacock is the god bird of Dai people, and Dai people have deep feelings for peacock. Through observing peacocks, Dai people realize that peacocks have natural aesthetic feeling and their physical features conform to the characteristics of three bends.
Later, people integrated the physical characteristics of peacocks into peacock dance and some thoughts of Hinayana Buddhism. Another influence factor of tee pipe is the influence of natural environment. Dai women wear tight clothes for convenience in life, which makes women's physical beauty show an S-shape, which is also the reason for the fork in the road.
One-sidedness is another modeling change of Dai dance. One side is the reaction of body posture during childbirth, and the other side is the characteristics of hands and feet on one side of the body, which is consistent with the physical characteristics of Dai women during childbirth. Dai women carry water, but their hands and feet are only one-sided. Graceful posture makes women's dance look beautiful and moving.
The beauty of body lines can be displayed. One-sided harmony and three-sided song are representative dance styles in Dai dance, and the combination of the two styles embodies the aesthetic nightclub of Dai people.
2. The rhythm of Dai dance.
Quiet and soothing is the rhythm feature of Dai dance, the reflection of Dai life habits, the embodiment of Dai life tradition in dance rhythm and the aesthetic taste of Dai people. Dai people live in the southwest of China and belong to the subtropical zone. The climate is hot and humid all year round. During the slack season, Dai people will rest quietly in the shade of trees.
The quiet character of Dai people is also reflected in the rhythm of dance. Love the water, a Dai, is gentle and soothing, and has become a fresh and soothing style of the Dai people. In addition, people live in the subtropical zone and get along with animals. Dance naturally melts the artistic sublimation of these rare birds and animals, making them a dynamic cultural factor.
