THE DEVELOPMENT OF DAUR DANCE

Abstract

This article aimed to study the development of Daur dance. In terms of methodology, the research employed a literature review to systematically analyze its cultural origins, modern inheritance dilemmas including commercialization risks and pedagogical limitations and innovative solutions. The study revealed the finding that traditional transmission mechanisms are declining, marked by reduced intergenerational knowledge transfer and insufficient cultural interpretation in education, while strategies such as university curricula integrating dance practice with cultural semantics, digital archives for endangered dance terminology, and community-led folk festivals have effectively maintained authenticity and engaged younger audiences. Concluding that sustainable development of Daur dance requires holistic approaches, the research emphasizes integrating culturally rooted education in school systems, utilizing digital technologies for documentation and dissemination, and fostering collaborative partnerships among governments, academic institutions, and local communities to balance its historical essence with contemporary adaptability. These findings offer theoretical insights for protecting ethnic minority artistic heritage globally amid modernization pressures.
