蘭嶼達悟族朗島部落勇士舞（ganam iraraley：達悟語「朗島的舞蹈」之意），是今日流行於朗島這個部落，共有24段動作變化的男性舞蹈；此舞蹈是為了參與1979年在台北舉行的雙十國慶大遊行所編創，並在台北新公園第一次公演。此種舞蹈起源於二次世界大戰後，1950年代的朗島部落男性在追求生活的樂趣中，以嬉戲為起點，發展出表演性質的身體運動型態，而後逐漸將這樣的型態轉化為舞蹈型態。

本論文主旨以達悟男性舞蹈發展的社會背景為起始，論及形成勇士舞之緣由和過程，以及勇士舞正式對外展演後的情形，同時尋求其歷史脈絡；隨後，針對定型化的勇士舞的歌詞創作、旋律與舞蹈三部份之形式、結構上的分析；最後，在勇士舞的主體本質，音樂與舞蹈，及其生成脈絡中，探尋其顯現的文化性特徵，進而分析其背後所隱藏的文化意涵。最後，回到勇士舞的主體本質，音樂與舞蹈中，探尋其生成脈絡，從顯現的民族特徵，筆者最終欲意寫露出其背後隱藏的文化意涵。
