The stylistic characteristics of the Dai dance are as follows:
(a) The style of the Dai dance.
The formation of the Dai dance style is also related to the living habits of the Dai people, the Dai people have been living by the water for generations, and have a deep emotion for the water, and the Dai people's own tough and passionate character traits are embodied in their lives, and based on this, they organically combine the culture of the Central Plains with that of Southeast Asia, and unify and apply it to the Dai dance, so that the Dai dance has a pluralistic cultural values.
The costumes of ethnic minorities are bright and gorgeous, and the Dai is no exception. The Dai costumes have distinctive national characteristics, and most of the Dai women's tops are made of satin or thin cloth, and the bottoms are tight tube skirts, which have also contributed to the formation of the Dai Dance's hook-and-kick dance steps. The Dai live in the mountainous region in the southwest of China, where the environment is beautiful and the scenery is charming.
The Dai people live happily in this peaceful and quiet environment, which also provides a broad space for the formation of Dai dance.

(2) Characteristics of Dai dance.
1. Changes in the modeling of the Dai dance.
One of the characteristics of the Dai dance is that the Dai dance posture is beautifully modeled and varied, of which "one side of the smooth" and "three curves" are typical modeling features of the Dai dance to show the beauty of the human body.
The three bends are the three bends of the body movement, the three bends of the arm movement, and the three bends of the legs. There are two factors for the formation of the three bends in the Dai dance, one is the influence of totem worship, and the other is the influence of the natural environment, which affects the Dai traditional costumes and thus the modeling changes of the dance.
The influence of totem worship mainly refers to the peacock, which is the sacred bird of the Dai people, and the Dai people have deep feelings for the peacock. Through the observation of the peacock, the Dai people realized that the peacock's shape has a natural beauty, and that the physical characteristics of the peacock itself are in line with the characteristics of the three bends.
The people later programmed the physical characteristics of the peacock into the Peacock Dance and incorporated some ideas of Hinayana Buddhism. Another influencing factor of the three curves is the influence of the natural environment. Dai women's clothes are also tighter in order to be convenient in their lives, which makes the beauty of the lines of the female torso show an S-shape, which is also the reason for the formation of the three curves.
Side by side is another stylistic change of Dai dance, side by side is the response of the body posture in labor, side by side is the same side of the body with the hands and feet out of the characteristics of the Dai women's physical characteristics of the labor, the Dai women's arms and feet in the water, the Yang field in the arms and feet is side by side. The posture of the Dai women's arms and feet in carrying water and in lifting the stage are the same as that of the Dai women's arms and feet in carrying water.
The beauty of the body's lines is displayed. One Side Shun and three bends are the representative dance postures in Dai dance, and the two postures together reflect the aesthetic nightclub of the Dai people.
2, the rhythm of the Dai dance.
Peaceful and soothing is the rhythmic characteristics of the Dai dance, this rhythm is the reaction of their habits, is the Dai people's life tradition in the dance rhythms, but also reflects the aesthetic interests of the Dai people. The Dai people live in the southwest of China, belonging to the subtropical region, the climate is hot and humid all the year round, and the Dai people will take a quiet rest in the shade during the agricultural leisure time.
The quiet character of the Dai people is also reflected in the rhythm of the dance. The Dai people love water, which is gentle and soothing, and is not in a hurry, which is transformed into the style of the Dai people that is not in a hurry and is fresh and soothing. In addition, people live in the subtropics and get along with animals. Dance naturally melted into the art of sublimation of these rare birds and animals, making it a dynamic cultural factor.
