Abstract

The availability of nonverbal communication and perception of visual images and patterns of dance movements in the Internet space has led to active interaction between representatives of different cultures. The emergence of new digital dance practices confirms the need for new methods and approaches to the study of dance culture and its communication properties, including at the intercultural level. Modern technologies make it possible to transmit and record dance information at a new level. The Internet as a means of communication has significantly expanded the boundaries of dance interaction between representatives of different cultures, while "motion capture" technologies allow recording dance information with maximum accuracy, storing and processing patterns of different dance cultures. The article analyzes the features of the transmission and perception of information in the dance art. Within the linear and nonlinear communication models, dance can contain semantic, emotive, deictic, phatic, cognitive and other information. Viral dances, dance videos in Tik Tok, dance videos on video hosting sites represent a new level of intercultural interaction. The transmission of information through several sensory channels at once, as well as the universality of nonverbal information, ensures mutual understanding and helps to eliminate communication barriers. Thus, the application of the information approach to the consideration of dance in the space of modern culture allows to study the peculiarities of the perception and transmission of dance, including between representatives of different cultures interacting in the global information space.
