Politeness And Orderliness In Social Interaction Through Dance Practice And Performance
Abstract
This paper examines how dance training and performances shape politeness and order in social interactions among dancers.Dance not only reflects aesthetic and cultural values but also serves as a medium for social education that instills values such as discipline, patience, and mutual respect.This paper employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving semi-structured interviews with dancers, dance teachers, and choreographers, as well as direct observation of dance training sessions in several cultural art groups.Document analysis was also conducted to support the field findings.The paper shows that dance training directly contributes to the enhancement of communication ethics, the formation of mutual respect attitudes, self-discipline, and the continuity of politeness values in daily life.Dance teachers are also identified as ethical guides who play a significant role in fostering these social values.This paper also suggests that the teaching of dance should continue to emphasize ethical aspects in order to empower dance as a cultural heritage and an effective tool for character development. This paper also suggests that the teaching of dance should continue to emphasize the aspect of decorum in order to strengthen dance as a cultural heritage and an effective tool for character development.
