The use of dance costumes in folk dance

1. Colorful patterns and exquisite decorations. The decoration of dance costumes is closely related to the prosperity of local dance. Xi'an Dance Studio mentioned that one of the functions of jewelry is to beautify dancers and increase their beauty. The primitive ancestors of ethnic minorities have long been aware of this. A Western Han Dynasty tomb unearthed in Luobo Bay, Guixian County, Guangxi has dancing patterns painted on the waist. The dancers wear tall and long feather crowns, their upper bodies are bare, and their lower bodies are covered with double skirts that are short in front and long in the back. There are patterns on it. They hold their heads high and open their arms. They work in pairs and move in neat steps. The floral skirt and feathers sway slightly, making the dance more beautiful.

2. The sound produced by the jewelry can also enhance the rhythm of the dance. One of the characteristics of dance is its rhythm. Any dance is rhythmic movement. Accompanied by the sound of knocking jewelry, it is a perfect combination of melody and dance beauty, and is a reflection of the superb aesthetics and expressiveness of ethnic minorities. The Gaoshan people are accustomed to wearing copper bells with them in burials. When they perform the hand-holding dance, "Each dancer has a small copper bell hanging on his hand and behind his back. When he dances, the bells and the rhythm of the singing are in time, and the people's voices are intertwined into a happy scene." Many ethnic minorities When holding festival singing and dancing activities, there are special requirements for the costumes of participants.

Xi'an Dance Studio mentioned that the costumes worn in song and dance celebrations are not simple copies of home costumes, but carefully considered artistic processing. Regardless of the choice of materials, the bright colors and the exquisiteness of the ornaments are more concentrated and typical than daily clothing, so the national characteristics are stronger, echoing the dance vocabulary with the strong cultural color of the nation, making the body language and costume decoration perfect blended together.
