A Comparative Study of China Dance and National Dance;
China dance is mainly composed of three parts: posture, rhyme and skill. It combines China Wushu and China Opera, and tends to express China culture.
In terms of dance skills, China Dance requires more flexibility and skills for dancers. However, there is no difficult movement in folk dance, which mainly shows cheerful atmosphere, so the requirements for dancers' dancing skills are not so high.
Folk dances don't have so many rules and regulations, and they can be arranged freely according to the customs and characteristics of different nationalities. However, China dance requires high basic skills and needs long-term practice to show good visual effects.
Therefore, compared with China dance, folk dance is easier to learn and more suitable for beginners or amateurs.
