What is the artistic conception of dance? The artistic conception of dance is the thinking activity of dance image carried out by the director in the process of gestating dance works. It includes brewing, determining the theme, selecting and refining the theme, shaping the characters, considering the layout of the whole dance structure, exploring and pursuing the most appropriate expression of dance art, etc.

To sum up, how to achieve the perfect unity of dance from content to expression. Therefore, the conception of dance art is an extremely important issue in dance creation. Whether dance creation conforms to the idea of dance art or not will directly affect the success or failure of the whole dance art work. The artistic conception of dance is a discovery and a creation.

In the process of creating artistic conception of dance, the choreographer always tries to find the dance image with artistic expressive force and characteristic significance directly or indirectly on the basis of going deep into life, and creates artistic conception, expresses people's thoughts and feelings, and expresses people's wishes and ideals with ingenious structure, methods and pictures and distinctive dance language. Only those who conform to this artistic conception are excellent and gratifying dance works.

The exquisite artistic conception of dance comes from the deep foundation of life. The ocean of life is infinitely vast, and the phenomena of life are extremely rich, but life is complex and unpredictable. Can not form the image created by dance art works and express the thoughts and feelings of the characters. They are not ordinary images, expressing the thoughts and feelings of characters, but images and thoughts and feelings with expressive force of dance art after selection, concentration and generalization.

Dance art is an art of beauty and good at expressing feelings. Dance is not good at expressing the process of narration, life and labor, and is not good at straightforward narration. Dance needs the director to grasp and seek the most concentrated, condensed, moving and beautiful thoughts and feelings of people in life, and then process, create and refine the dance image.

That is to say, in the exquisite artistic conception of dance, thoughts and feelings, vivid images and rich imagination are unified and melted, so that the created images can dance. Only in this way can we arouse people's aesthetic feeling and make people like to accept and appreciate it.
