Aesthetic Culture Differences in Dancesport between Western and Chinese 
Abstract
Interaction and blending between diverse cultures become more and more with  increasing international exchanges. Dancesport as the synthesis of western culture experienced a long period of cultural fusion. After it was introduced to China, dancesport developed quickly. Learning dancesport and putting traditional Chinese cultural elements into it is a good way of culture communication. This thesis, in view of culture diffusion, presents the type of dancesport and its situation in China, analyzing the combination of dancesport and Chinese traditional dance from its own culture background. Then from the aspects of religious, music and clothes, the author illustrates the differences between dancesport culture and traditional Chinese culture.
This paper adopts contrast and content analysis as research methods. It first gives a brief introduction to the background of dancesport in the west and China; then it explains the aesthetic attributions from the perspective of dancesport's aesthetic culture. Next, it gives a detailed comparison about the differences between the west and China from different religious beliefs, music forms and clothes styles. After that, it presents a data analysis from a competition to demonstrate dancesport's differences in China and some reasons behind it. At last, it provides some suggestions for recognizing and respecting the traditional Chinese culture as well as learning dancesport, such as blending Chinese features. 
The article not only studies on the aesthetic culture of dancesport but also stress the importance of traditional Chinese culture. Under the trend of cultural globalization, communicating with outside can make traditional Chinese culture head for the world, but it is on the premise of keeping its own characteristics.
Key words: dancesport, aesthetic culture, culture exchange between China and the West, culture difference, culture diffusion
摘 要
随着国际交流越来越多，各国间的文化相互渗透逐步加深，体育舞蹈作为西方文化的结晶,自身在经历了长时间的文化融合之后传入了中国，传入后得到了大力地发展，学习体育舞蹈并融入中国传统文化元素是一种很好的促进文化交流的方式。本论文从文化传播的角度介绍体育舞蹈的主要舞种及其在中国的情况，解析体育舞蹈审美和中国民间舞蹈审美在各自文化背景下的相互交融，并从宗教文化、音乐文化和服饰文化三个方面分析体育舞蹈文化与中国传统文化的不同。
文章以对比分析和内容分析为研究方法，首先阐述了体育舞蹈的发展历程，其次从审美文化价值的角度谈体育舞蹈的审美属性，然后详细地对比了宗教信仰、音乐形式、服装风格三方面的中西方差异，接着以具体比赛数据分析中国体育舞蹈现在的差距及差距产生的原因，最后提出学习体育舞蹈的同时也应该认识并尊重中国本土文化，在舞蹈中融入中国元素，大力弘扬中国传统文化特色。
本文不仅对体育舞蹈审美文化进行了探究，也强调了中国传统文化的重要性。在世界文化一体化趋势下与异域文化进行沟通与交流可以让中国传统文化在不失本色的前提下更好地走向世界。
