Dance is one of the oldest categories in various arts, and it is the oldest and most direct form for people to express their feelings. Famous artists call dance "the mother of art". Dance is a beautiful art with strong appeal. It is very important to explore children's potential, shape children's healthy and lively personality and promote their all-round development through correct and systematic dance teaching.
First, tap children's childlike innocence
Innocent and imaginative, Liu Changqing wrote a poem in the Tang Dynasty: "Everything is born in the mirror"; That is, people's thoughts and feelings are attached to the world, and everything is natural; The naive children who live and play in this Vientiane nature have rich artistic imagination and creativity. Natural curiosity will let them see some wonderful images in the original empty place, and they prefer to imitate the scenery they see somewhere. Children are fresh, innocent and lively, full of clear and sweet love for the world, love the grass and flowers in the wild, love the moon and stars in the sky, love the birds and white clouds swimming in the sky, love the shining fish and sails in love, and embrace their favorite objects with their hearts. They have a strong thirst for knowledge, like imitation, curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and have a wide range of interests. Children dance is very consistent with the characteristics of children's love of moving and jumping, and also with the psychological and physiological characteristics of children's understanding of things through perception and relying on appearances. Children improve their imitation ability of action, rhythm and entertainment, and deepen their knowledge and understanding of external things. Dance movements are silent language, which can stimulate and inspire them to have rich associations and open up creative ideas. It can cultivate children's thinking in images, train their keen observation ability, and give full play to their perception, association, imagination and fantasy, thus promoting their intellectual development.
Second, cultivate children's initial artistic creativity.
Music is the soul of dance. Only with deep feelings for music can there be innovation and creation. As the saying goes, "I feel it." Dance is an art that is indifferent to feelings and outward. The creation of dance image is to express the "visible" artistic image through the emotion implied by music and the movements of people's "external" limbs, figure, eyes and facial muscles. Telling children that music is a "good friend" of dance will arouse children's interest in music. In the usual teaching process, let students listen to music more. After listening to all kinds of music, children will have the feeling of adapting to the rhythm and content of music, and then express their feelings about music through body movements. The rhythm and melody line of music play an active and important role in the movement prompt and emotional change in dance. The strength of music, high and low, and the ups and downs of melody will all produce different image thinking and motivation in the hearts of dancers. Therefore, it is also very important to stimulate children's creativity, develop children's imagination and image thinking, and attach importance to the cultivation of children's musical sensibility. For example, Little Ant advocates collectivism and industriousness with the help of little bees, and conveys children's feelings with lovely artistic images such as cygnets and ducklings, so that children can enter the role in the rhythm of beauty and perform freely, thus reflecting the novelty and variety of children dance language in form. It is not only simple imitation and exaggeration, but also building its own material structure on the basis of accumulating materials. Strive to create, find new ideas and freshness, attract children with beautiful and successful craft forms, stimulate their interest and passion, and meet their appreciation needs. Children dance's language creation must have its own unique form and characteristics, and express children's spirit and form, feelings and interests with exaggerated, concise, clear and flexible language. In short, children are creative, but if this ability is not cultivated and developed, it will fade with time.
Third,? Improve aesthetic quality and enhance aesthetic consciousness.
The essence of dance is the beauty of dynamic modeling of human body. Scientific and coordinated dance training will improve the coordination and flexibility of children's body parts, promote children's bone development, enhance children's digestive function, stimulate appetite and improve their physical fitness. Among the students, some children used to have bad habits such as hunchback, chest-picking, shoulder-lifting, etc., and they are often reminded to consciously change this bad habit in teaching. After a period of training, their habits can be effectively corrected. Children who have been trained in dance have the characteristics of good appearance and decent behavior. This physical feature will make them feel good about themselves, full of confidence and optimism, and lay the foundation for them to treat others properly in the future. Children trained in dance can make people feel the tall, straight, generous and lively figure and cheerful and beautiful temperament of our new generation, which is helpful to cultivate and improve national self-confidence and stimulate national pride.
Dance also provides and constructs a childlike aesthetic appreciation and aesthetic creation space for children by mobilizing various psychological and physiological functions such as people's movements, expressions, postures and emotional inner experiences. Children dance, with his unique way of entertainment, can exert a subtle influence, making children accustomed to loving all the beautiful things in the world and hating all the false, evil and ugly behaviors. We can know the colorful world and the truth, goodness and beauty through the concrete image of dance, so as to cultivate children's ability to feel, appreciate and pursue beauty. For a long time, in the traditional concept of children's education in our country, children are often unilaterally emphasized to be "good", "obedient" and "quiet", but little attention is paid to cultivating children's dynamic aesthetic feeling and modeling ability. Therefore, while emphasizing the transformation from exam-oriented education to quality education, we should pay special attention to the unique advantages of children's dance education in cultivating a new generation with sound appearance and quality.
In a word, the purpose of dance education is not only to instill artistic skills and basic knowledge into students, but more importantly, to cultivate children's creative thinking. Not only can children be cultivated physically, psychologically and emotionally, but they can also be fully trained in posture, appearance and physical quality. More importantly, they should strengthen the cultivation of imagination and creativity, so that students can develop morally, intellectually, physically and artistically. It is often said that the symbol of the civilization of a society, a nation and a country is people's overall feeling, appreciation and creativity in aesthetics. Let's actively participate in children's dance teaching, dare to explore and innovate, and work hard to cultivate new talents in the new century!
