Since the Pas de Deux Farewell, Mama, Pas de Trois the Gold Drummer won the first prize in the First National Dance Competition in1980, the narrative dance in China has gone through more than thirty years. And now, it has become a rather loved dance form in the world of dance. However, compared with the development of the narrative dance itself, the relevant theory of it develops far behind. Make a general survey of the three parts of the dance research theory-dance theory, dance history and dance spreading, narrative dance is rare to been seen. Therefore, it caused the severe imbalance between the practice and theory of narrative dace. According to this phenomenon, this paper proposes on the basis of narrative theory, combine with relevant theories such as film semiotics to make an in depth study on the inner systematic relations in narrative time in the point of synchronicity and integrality.The narrative time study in narrative dance work is based on80different forms of narrative dances, and makes classified discussions in the following chapter. Firstly, the order of discourse time is discussed about five areas including sequential narration, time reversal, analepsis, prolepsis, and stack space narrative. Secondly, the distance of discourse time is discoursed upon ellipsis, summary, scene, stretch and pause. Thirdly, the speed of discourse time is researched, as an example the tense speed of narrative dance piece is analyzed from the following aspects:singulative narrative, iterative narrative and repeated narrative. The last part is the conclusion, and I will introduce that how the method of time structural formula is listed and explained, in the meanwhile, some correlative conclusions are obtained to render the specific value of the study.
