Ballet was born in the Italian Renaissance, and it became popular in France in the second half of the 17th century and gradually became professional, and it became popular all over the world through constant innovation.

folk dance: generally refers to a dance form which is produced and spread among the people, restricted by folk culture, improvised but relatively stable in style, with self-entertainment as its main function. Folk dances in different regions, countries and nationalities have obvious differences in performance skills and styles due to the influence of living environment, customs, lifestyle, national character, cultural traditions, religious beliefs and other factors, as well as the physiological conditions such as the age and gender of performers. Modern dance: it is a kind of dance school that rose in the west at the beginning of the 2th century, which is opposite to classical ballet. Its main aesthetic point of view is to oppose the formalism tendency of classical ballet, which is conformist, divorced from the phenomenon-single life and simply pursuing skills. It advocates getting rid of the shackles of the rigid action program of classical ballet, freely expressing people's true feelings with dance movements that conform to the laws of natural movement, and emphasizes that dance art should reflect modern social life.
