Abstract

This study explores the educational role of dance creation in cultural inheritance, investigating the intrinsic connection between bodily narratives and the reconstruction of ethnic aesthetics. By analyzing how dance bodies serve as narrative carriers of cultural symbols, the historical memories and collective emotions embedded in movement vocabularies, and the ethnic connotations of spatial compositions, it reveals the cultural representation mechanisms of dance's visual aesthetics. The research further proposes innovative pathways for dance creation as a medium for ethnic cultural cognition, promoting the internalization of aesthetic experiences and identity construction, while facilitating bodily practices in educational contexts. The findings demonstrate that dance education achieves deep cultural internalization through immersive experiences and creative transformation, providing systematic strategies for the dynamic inheritance of traditional dances in contemporary contexts. These approaches not only strengthen cultural confidence and ethnic community consciousness but also drive the innovative transformation and developmental progress of ethnic cultures through creativity. This study offers theoretical support and practical paradigms for art education serving cultural heritage preservation.
