AB - This study adopts Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology as its theoretical framework to examine how the body in DanceSport engages with the world and how space is existentially constituted through sensory-perceptual practice. Unlike traditional kinesiology, which treats the body as a functional tool, Merleau-Ponty defines it as a living subject that generates meaning in relation to others. Based on this perspective, the study explores three issues: the embodiment of spatiality, the intercorporeality of the leader-follower relationship, and the existential meaning of space. The analysis shows that the body configures space as a perceived field rather than fixed coordinates; that leader and follower co-create spatiality by attuning to subtle bodily signals; and that the stage emerges as a living space reconstituted through perception. These findings position DanceSport as an aesthetic practice that redefines the boundary between sport and art, and they provide a theoretical basis for interdisciplinary research across dance studies, philosophy of sport, and aesthetics.
