Dance in Singapore comprises traditional and contemporary forms. It has a relatively short history of creative, artistic and professional dance. The range of dance reflects the cultural diversity of Singapore.〔(Dance in Singapore at DanSing )〕 There is a consistent struggle between the rejection and acceptance of western dance influences and the re-emphasis of ethnic cultures from time to time. The Singapore identity through dance is a challenging one often on an outward looking perception rather than the acceptance and recognition of indigenous/original creativity. Notable non-profit artistic dance legacy include ECNAD and Arts Fission Company. ==Traditional styles== Singapore is a multinational country. Though its predominant ethnicity is Chinese, there are also other Asian communities, especially Indians, Malays and Indonesians. * Chinese dances are very popular in Singapore. The Lion Dance is performed in the New Year festivities, among other dances performed in other cultural events. * The Malay national dance, Zapin, is popular among Malays. * Indian Bharatnatyam and, to a lesser extent, Kathak are taught in many Indian dance schools in Singapore, given fact that most Indians of Singapore are mostly Tamil in ethnicity, among other South Indians. * Peranakan dance blends Malay and Chinese influences in both choreography and clothing. Peranakan music has Malay and Western influences. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dance in Singapore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
