A Review of the Academic History of the Relationship between Dance and Geography
Dance has a natural connection with geography.The understanding and discussion of the relationship between dance and geography have existed in ancient China,but systematic research on dance geography began in the late 20th century under the influence of cultural geography.In the 1980s,with the"cultural turn"of new cultural geography research and the intersection and integration with other disciplines such as anthropology,ethnology,and cultural studies,the study of dance geography became more diversified.Looking back at the academic history of the relationship between dance and geography,not only can we discover the process and approach of dance geography research,laying an important academic foundation for future dance geography research,but it is also of great significance for studying the cultural characteristics and exchange of multi-ethnic dances in different regions under the consciousness of the Chinese national community.
