“…Dance is an important form of visual art, and its development is closely related to the history and culture of the region. As an outstanding representative dance of Chinese folk dance, Uyghur dance has blossomed splendidly in the western region of China since ancient times, and the characteristic of Uyghur people that "if they can talk, they can sing; if they can walk, they can dance" has also been widely spread [1]. In the long history of the Uyghur people, we can clearly see a development trajectory of multi-ethnic exchanges, multi-cultural convergence, and multi-customs integration, and Uyghur dance also has a deep cultural value [2].…”

Uyghur dance has a long history and needs to rely on education to inherit. However, the Uyghur dance education in local colleges and universities does not follow the development of the times. Aiming at the situation of Uyghur dance education in colleges and universities, a Uyghur dance pose generation network is constructed. By analyzing the main components and tasks of the autoencoder, the process of extracting music and dance movement features is explored. Combine LSTM to retain the information of dance action features and solve the problem of disappearing dance gradients. Extract the dance video as a sequence of skeletal key points and replace each joint point position with a number accordingly to improve the representation of dance action. The Uyghur dance pose generation network is used to analyze the features of Uyghur dance and propose promotion strategies based on the dance features. The results show that the amplitude and power of female Uyghur dance movements are relatively small, and the distance between joints and points is only [10,90] cm, while the amplitude of male Uyghur dance movements is much larger, and the distance between joints of the point rubbing step is [-10,100] cm. in the promotion of the dance, the degree of validity of the promotion of the combination of modern technology and Uyghur dance is 0.8546. The present study has promoted the reform of Uyghur dance education to some extent. The reform of Uyghur dance education is conducive to the preservation of national traditional dance.

Artists and the arts have many different roles in society. Artists also have various roles in relation to science and technology, ranging from being users of science and technology products to being educators for science and technologies, such as in museums. Artists are also involved in science and technology governance and ethics discussions. Disabled people are also artists and produce art, and disabled people in general and disabled artists are impacted by science and technology advancements. As such, disabled artists should also engage with science and technology, as well as contribute and influence science and technology governance, ethics discussions, and science and technology education with their work. We performed a scoping study of academic literature using the 70 databases of EBSCO-HOST and the database SCOPUS (includes Medline) to investigate the social role narrative of disabled artists and both their work in general and in relation to science and technology. Our findings suggest that disabled artists are mostly engaged in the context of becoming and being a disabled artist. Beyond the work itself, the identity issue of ‘being disabled’ was a focus of the coverage of being a disabled artist. The literature covered did not provide in-depth engagement with the social role of disabled artists, their work, and the barriers encountered, and best practices needed to fulfil the social roles found in the literature for non-disabled artists and the arts. Finally, the literature covered contained little content on the relationship of disabled artists and advancements of science and technology, such as in their role of using advancements of science and technologies for making art. No content at all was found that would link disabled artists and their work to the science and technology governance and ethics discussions, and no content linking disabled artists to being educators on science and technology issues, for example, in museums was found.
