Analysis of the Corporeality and Existence of Social Dance
Abstract
individuals and society as a whole from the perspective of embodied phenomenology. By examining how individuals express themselves and experience social relationships through dance, it reveals the critical role of the body in social dance and analyzes how dance serves as a bridge for interaction between individuals and society. Simultaneously, it investigates the limitations and potentials of social dance at the phenomenological level, exploring how this bodily practice may constrain or expand individuals' perceptions and experiences of social existence under specific conditions. Through this comprehensive analysis, the paper aims to offer a novel perspective on social dance research and establish a foundation for further understanding the complex relationship between the body and society.
