ABSTRACT

Year 2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the dialogue between ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and China. The past 30 years have witnessed great enhancement in the relationship between ASEAN and China. Today, the Belt and Road initiative from China offers an unprecedented opportunity to further advance the relationship. In particular, China has advocated to build a community with a shared future for mankind, which has resonated strongly with the international community. Dances can be an artistic pathway for achieving the objective of a community with a shared future for mankind. We here consider building a dance cultural community between ASEAN and China as a part of a community of a shared future for mankind. The primary objective of building such a community should be to form a sustainable framework that could foster exchanges of dance arts, promote dance culture diversity, and enhance the heritage and protection of traditional and/or folk dances. Because a dance cultural community is still in a nascent stage, comprehensive analyses and studies are very needed. This article aims to elaborate the importance of constructing a dance cultural community, presents analyses on the feasibility and constraints, and proposes cultural protection, exchanges, and communication.
