The so-called dance education is to preserve and impart dance skills and theories, promote the prosperity and development of dance art, and is an important means to popularize dance culture. According to different objects and purposes, it can be divided into mass dance education and professional dance education. The former focuses on popularization, aiming at self-entertainment, while the latter focuses on improvement, aiming at training specialized personnel.

Second, the significance of children learning dance

Learning dance is beneficial to the development of children's intelligence. Grasping the characteristics of children's natural love of moving and jumping, we should also choose dance according to the psychological characteristics of children knowing things through perception and relying on appearances. Children will improve their imitation ability in action, rhythm and entertainment, and deepen their knowledge and understanding of external things. Dance movements are silent language, and children often rely on rich imagination and spiritual perception to express the connotation of these movements. These actions can stimulate and inspire them to have rich associations and open up creative ideas.

In the process of teaching in children dance, I am not only satisfied with teaching children a movement and a small combination, but also leaving room for their creation. For example, I used a cheerful piece of music to let children follow the rhythm and let them give full play to their imagination and creativity.

As a result, each child jumped out of a different dance and sang while dancing, which was extremely sensitive to the rhythm. Another example: I once used a piece of music with edelweiss to make children imagine the snow scene in winter. As a result, the children all expressed their different feelings about the snow scene, some showed cold, and some expressed their love for snowflakes ... This creative artistic activity helped the children complete the sublimation and transformation from plane image to three-dimensional image. It can cultivate children's thinking in images, train children's keen observation ability, and give full play to students' perception, association, imagination and fantasy, thus promoting students' intellectual development.

Third, it is conducive to cultivating children's good moral awareness and will quality.

Dance is a whole art, and children dance often rehearses or performs in the form of group dance. Uniform formation and movements are often one of the criteria to measure the overall aesthetic feeling. If children are not serious and uncoordinated, it will affect or even destroy the beauty of the picture. Through this synchronous training, children will develop conscious, disciplined and cooperative behavior habits over time.

Children dance can also cultivate children's lively personality and strong perseverance. Especially the contemporary only child, loved by relatives at home, may be shy and coquettish in public, and perform dance in public. This kind of artistic activity has the characteristics of instant interpersonal communication on the spot. In the teaching process, teachers can use the extroverted characteristics of dance to stimulate students to perform expressive performances. By participating in rehearsals, going out to perform and group activities, many children have overcome the shortcomings of introversion, timidity and shyness. Participating in art activities broadens children's horizons, enhances their self-confidence and cultivates their cheerful and lively personality. At the same time, dance is a cruel art. In the process of dance training, some movements must be completed with pain and hardship. This requires children to have a strong will and a spirit of hardship. Therefore, some delicate children, after hard training, their perseverance has been fully tempered.
