The purpose of the article is to identify the artistic and aesthetic features and trends in the development of sports ballroom dance in the context of the specifics of the cultural and artistic paradigm of modernism, postmodernism and metamodernism. Research methodology. The deductive method, the method of formal analysis, the semiotic method, the hermeneutic method, the method of comparative analysis were applied. The study of sports ballroom dance within the framework of interdisciplinary methods opens up prospects for the further development of the theory of culture, art and aesthetics in the context of complex socio-cultural transformations. Scientific novelty. The key characteristics of modernism, postmodernism, and metamodernism are specified and phenomenological and ontological approaches to the analysis of sports ballroom dance are substantiated. The transformations occurring at the artistic and aesthetic level of sports ballroom dance under the influence of changing cultural and artistic paradigms are considered. Conclusions. As part of the tradition of choreographic art, sports ballroom dance includes diverse schools and styles, integrating the specific characteristics and aesthetic principles determined in them. Over the course of a century of evolution, the artistic and aesthetic features of sports ballroom dance remain a unique reflection of the nature of cultural and artistic paradigms, which has been manifested in: the dynamics of the organisation of structural elements of figures and dance compositions with typical geometric linearity, clear formalisation of figures and vertical orientation of the body (modern). The improvement of the dance form, increasing the amplitude of movements and inclinations, step length, complicating the rhythmic pattern and, as a result, enhancing the emotionality of the presentation (postmodern). Oscillations between the categories of sport and dance art, combining contrasting tempos, musical eclecticism and synthesising styles, articulating the possibilities of integrating technical complexity and a deep level of emotional saturation (metamodernism). The position of the dancing couple, and its sign-symbolic clarity in fact, is an expression of the ontological aspiration for transcendence, and the archetypal images created by it in the process of performing the program reflect the revival of spirituality and pragmatic romanticism.
