Three hypostases of dance and approaches to its study (socio-cultural, semiotic, psychotechnical)

The article is devoted to the discussion of the essence and nature of dance. At the beginning of the work, the author states his approach: consideration of dance within the framework of a broader whole (the reality of culture and communication), as well as development, analysis of new anthropological images and ideals, description of the reboot of physicality. Based on Aida Aylamazyan's research, the author characterizes two stages of dance development: the formation of classical ballet in the XIV century and the formation of free dance. In both cases, a new anthropological ideal was initially formed, the realization of which then entailed the formation of a new way of life, the transformation of physicality and a new synthesis of physicality in music. This pattern is confirmed by another anthropopractic, karate. In general, dance is considered from the point of view of three approaches: socio-cultural (analysis of new anthropological images and ideals), semiotic (the role in the formation of the reality of dance schemes and other semiotic cresdtv) and psychotechnical (the formation of a new physicality and reality). It is indicated that there is a need for another plan of study - psychological. Here, for example, "modes of the psyche" can be considered. The author assumes that living in dance and experiencing dance events is a person's life in a certain mode, conditioned by the dance narrative and the reality of dance. Without referring to the psychological plan, it is also difficult to talk about the formation of a dancer's personality
