BRIEF ANALYSIS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION IN DANCE PERFORMANCE ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This article aims to explore how cultural background is one of the core elements of emotional expression and how various forms of emotional expression in dance can evoke strong emotional resonance. To achieve this goal, I reviewed literature and interviewed Li Zhi, a national second-level performer of the "Panda" dance drama, to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of emotional expression. First, it was found that emotional expression in dance is characterized by its intuitiveness, intensity, diversity, comprehensiveness, and creativity. Emotional expression in dance is a crucial aspect of dance art. This article introduces elements such as the dancer's body movements and cultural background used to convey various emotions. Dance is an art form that conveys emotion; its existence is to express people's inner feelings. Under the influence of emotional expression, dancers can better "dance with emotion, move with emotion," thereby enhancing the appeal of dance performances.
