The French Nouvelle Vague was a new wave in the 1950s and 1960s that led to new changes in the French film industry, which had been struggling with a slump. Young film directors who rebelled against established film conventions sought fresh ideas, various expressions, and technological innovations. This new artistic wave, Nouvelle Vague, is also significantly correlated with Nouvelle Danse. Nouvelle Danse is a new "Jeune Danse" that appeared in Western Europe in the 1980s, with France at the center, starting to diverge from traditional dance art, not only in choreographic innovation but also in overall production of audio-visual devices, costumes, music and sounds. This Nouvelle Danse is an early form of contemporary dance that has led to the establishment of contemporary creative dance identity beyond Western Europe today.

In this study, it is possible to grasp the relationship between Nouvelle Vague and Nouvelle Danse by classifying the correlated factors among the concepts and propensities of the two into four broad categories. First, as a part that formed the consensus of the times and conceptual, the concept of a choreographer as an artist and disobedience to the existing methodology appeared. Second, the correlation of directing techniques can be confirmed in the introduction of visual art, montage or collage technique, and improvisation. Third, the area that was most directly influenced by Nouvelle Vague's film was probably dance film. Fourth, it is possible to confirm the correlation between Nouvelle Vague and Nouvelle Danse in their inducing or favoring critical attitudes of appreciation.
