Features: As a dance choreographer—both a creator and director of dance—besides possessing a certain level of professional knowledge in dance art, one also needs knowledge from various aspects of social life, history, and culture, as well as a certain level of cultivation in literature, drama, music, and fine arts. This book, Knowledge of Dance Choreography, presents its content in an accessible and easy-to-understand manner, covering the relationship between dance and life, its social functions; the characteristics of dance art and its unique expressive techniques; the connections between dance and literature, drama, music, and fine arts; the content and form of dance, as well as the processes and methods of choreographic creation. It includes topics such as an introduction to dance art and practical theories of dance techniques, among others. Although some views in dance theory, including some in this book, still require pragmatic and realistic discussions in line with the "Hundred Flowers" policy; in terms of the methodology of dance creation, differences are even greater due to the varying styles, methods, and habits of different dance choreographers. This book will be helpful to those who are passionate about pursuing amateur dance choreography and also holds reference value for professional dance choreographers.
