DANCE EDUCATION IN CHINA (BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT)
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The Chinese nation has a long tradition of dance education. Dance as a direction of art education integrates various aspects of personality development. Therefore, dance courses at colleges and universities have become popular among students in China. The courses help to improve body shape, develop temperament and contribute to the comprehensive development of students. Therefore, the Chinese government has always supported and developed dance education. This article reviews the main aspects influencing the further development of dance education, in which various conflicting processes can correlate. China is a civilization that can correlate the contradictory processes associated with the development of unique aspects of culture (traditional) and universal (international). The choreographic school of China is a multi-variant, unpredictable and complex learning process, in which the performing arts are filled with reverence for the national, and the educational function is filled with universalism. Consequently, China's modern dance education has not only deep national roots, but also international potential for genuine dialogue with other countries and civilizations.
