Abstract

This study addresses the limitations of traditional dance aesthetics education in providing personalized feedback and quantifying emotional responses by proposing an AI-integrated analytical framework. Utilizing the DeepSeek model, we analyzed undergraduate critiques of Dynamic Yunnan (Yang Liping) and Swan Lake (Matthew Bourne) through Wundt’s emotional dimensions (pleasure, tension, arousal). Results demonstrated strong alignment between AI-generated emotional scores and student self-assessments, with distinct emotional profiles for each performance: Dynamic Yunnan elicited higher pleasure and arousal, while Swan Lake triggered elevated tension. Notably, tension and arousal intensity enhanced critique quality for Swan Lake, suggesting emotion-cognition synergy in dance appreciation. This framework bridges AI’s quantitative precision with educators’ qualitative insights, offering a pathway to transform subjective art evaluation into data-driven pedagogy.
