There is a necessary connection between dance and rhythm.

Looking at the relationship between music and dance from the perspective of historical origin:

From the perspective of the origin of art, it is labor that gives the rhythm of music and the posture of dance. In ancient society, the rhythmic labor sounds produced by people in collective labor can be said to be the earliest sprout of music. The original rhythm and tone of music actually formed the first dance postures accompanying the music. Therefore, in ancient societies, music and dance were combined.

Abroad, there is also data showing that music and dance have been linked from the beginning. Wu Zuqiang wrote in his article "The Relationship between Music and Dance in the Art of Dance": After the Homer era in ancient Greece, a kind of choral ballads that combined music and dance, hymns to praise the gods, celebration songs to celebrate victory in athletics, and An ode to a heroic mission.

Support from literature:

A large number of reading materials show that the combination of music and dance is natural, and the two depend on each other and survive each other. Fundamentally speaking, dance cannot be separated from music. Since the two have the same rhythm, rhythm and emotional content, and they are displayed simultaneously, the two must be highly coordinated. Rhythm is an important component of music. Part, but also an important element of dance.

The uniqueness of music and dance:

Music and dance are organized by beat and rhythm. The same is true for dance as a whole, and rhythm and beat are also the skeleton of the music as a whole. Dance and music are both "moving" arts, and both are restricted by an unstoppable process. "Rhythm refers to sounds of different lengths, organized according to certain rules."

The changing drumbeats during the procession reflect the relationship between the length of the sound, such as dong-dong-dong-dong-dong, this is the rhythm. Rhythm in dance refers to the time occupied by dance movements, that is, the length, strength, speed, etc. of the movements and their relationship, which are reflected in the flowing movement process.

Classification of rhythm:

Rhythm can generally be divided into internal rhythm and external rhythm. Dance is the unity of both. The "rhythm" of dance is closely related to the rhythm of music. The unified rhythm of dance and music gives people a unified and overall rhythmic beauty visually and aurally, thus enhancing the expressiveness and appeal of dance art.
