This study aims at surveying the relation of movement and meaning in dance, the way in which they have contributed to ballet and modern dance, and how dance has stood on its own feet as a independent art form and where it should advance.
As it is universally known, dance has groped for its identity not to pursue the endowment of meaning with language but to pursue the way in which it should set out from movement itself so that its expression may become independent.
That is, the emphisis falls not on movement but on the body in being excessively attached to the expressional phase of movement.
On reflection, in being advanced in civilization, the dance that seemed to be alienated from people for a while has recovered its popularity and now seems to revive its function in repatures.
As the dance that ended in being presented is changing into the one that is acted by each person, dance needs to be newly accepted in a total point of view and with a total human.
In order to establish itself as a art form, that dance has been attached to movement rather than meaning shows in the history of development of dance.
But, in conclusion, movement and meaning are not alternative and the totality of dance must be considered.
