Discussion on the Dynamic Characteristics and Aesthetic Connotation of Sawurden Dance

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive and systematic examination of the Saurud dance, a traditional ethnic dance with deep cultural roots and rich aesthetic value. By analyzing its intricate movement patterns, rhythmic structures, spatial formations, and dynamic transitions, the research elucidates the technical complexity and expressive depth that define this art form. Beyond the mechanics of performance, the study explores the cultural and historical contexts that shape Saurud dance, including its role in community rituals, social cohesion, and the transmission of collective memory. The emotional and symbolic dimensions of the dance are also examined, highlighting how performers convey narratives, cultural identity, and social values through bodily expression. Furthermore, the paper discusses the contemporary significance of preserving and adapting Saurud dance, considering both the challenges posed by modernization and the opportunities for creative reinterpretation. By integrating technical, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives, this research aims to enhance scholarly understanding of Saurud dance and to support its sustained inheritance, innovative development, and broader appreciation within and beyond its native community.
