As an important part of art education, dance education is an important way to cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability, and an effective carrier for implementing quality education in primary schools. Dance education belongs to art education, emotional education and an important part of aesthetic education. It can help children gradually acquire better basic qualities of human beauty, acquire the basic ability of coordinating movements, and understand the basic characteristics and laws of dance art, so as to improve their perfect ability, strengthen their patriotic feelings and cultivate noble sentiments, which is of great significance to cultivate good dance art conduct, will and accomplishment. In quality education in primary schools, dance art plays an irreplaceable role in promoting students' all-round development.
First, offering dance classes in primary schools is helpful to the development of comprehensive quality, which shows the importance of dance teaching in primary schools.
Walter Terry said: "Through dance training, students can strengthen their physique, improve the coordination of movements, improve their sense of rhythm and rhythm, enhance their imitation ability and cultivate correct basic postures. Emotionally, dance helps students adapt to collective activities, accept leadership and observe discipline, and also helps students express their words, deeds and expressions. In addition to physical and emotional use, dancing obviously requires concentration. If your body dances according to the prescribed form, you must be alert, well-trained and agile. " Walter Terry highly summarized the importance of dance education from three aspects: physical quality, emotion and attention. However, many students with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique have entered a virtuous circle because of their dance education: active thinking, quick action and excellent grades.
(1) Dance teaching cultivates students' high attention.
The teacher is demonstrating dance movements, and students must remember its rhythm, flow route, beat and inner feelings, and input this information into their brains and express it quickly with their bodies. As a finished dance, its dynamic rhythm, flowing route, rhythm and mood are changeable, which objectively requires students to pay close attention to it. This kind of training for many years has made students form the habit of listening attentively. Therefore, students are better than other students when they receive education in cultural classes, because they pay attention to understanding and mastering knowledge, which can be found in our students.
A simple dance movement requires comprehensive knowledge and ability to master. However, students are single when learning a certain lesson, such as remembering a formula and understanding a phrase. As we all know, people's knowledge and ability are acquired. If you grow up in a complex environment, a single environment will make you feel effortless and relaxed. Because dance has the function of cultivating children's attention, students not only learn dance in class, but also gain a lot in the cultivation of high attention.
(2) Dance teaching enhances students' memory.
When learning dance movements, students should not only remember the music image and rhythm, but also remember the dance movements and rhythm, and remember the emotions expressed in each dance sentence. Without good memory, a dance can't be completed, and a dance class needs far more memory than a culture class. Because the rhythm of music, dance movements and emotions are all changing, you must remember its changing process and those moments of freezing. If our brains can store complex information, and often enrich and use it, will we still be so slow?
Most of people's abilities come from the understanding and accumulation of knowledge, and accumulation comes from the memory of the brain. This kind of exercise that children get in dance class is undoubtedly of great help to their study, which is also the reason why students in our school get excellent grades.
(3) Dance teaching enlivens students' thinking.
The dance teacher wants to teach the children to perform duckling dance. He asked the children what the duckling was called. The children replied: Aye, aye, aye, how does the duckling walk? The child immediately learned to walk like a duck with his feet, but there were no ducks in the classroom at this time. Children use their existing knowledge and experience to process teachers' questions and show them with their bodies. This process is the process of children thinking. This is a highly thinking process. A child who has been taking dance classes for many years should have learned a lot of dances, from dances of all ethnic groups to dances that show all kinds of life interests and small animals. When he can't express the teacher's creativity, the teacher inspires him with life experience. At this time, the child's thinking will be opened, and he will associate, recall, understand and express along the road pointed out by the teacher, and finally it will be reflected by the body. At this time, he has surpassed himself and started to shape characters with his own body. This early development and exercise has played a positive role in children's healthy growth and intelligence improvement.
(D) Dance teaching makes students' personality develop well.
Students who take part in dance learning have different personalities. For example, some students are withdrawn and show indifference to anyone and anything. In learning, there are some cooperative movements of two people, and the cooperation between individuals and groups caused by formation deformation, so that students can change themselves to adapt to the environment of mutual cooperation, and students will love to laugh, love to laugh, and be cheerful and lively.
Therefore, it is very necessary to offer dance classes in school education. We should pay attention to strengthening dance teaching, and gain rich expressive force from learning, so as to gain a pleasant emotional experience, from emotion to aesthetics, and enhance our personality in aesthetics.
Second, talk about the necessity of dance education from the connection and difference between dance and other disciplines.
(A) the relationship and difference between dance and sports
Both dance and gymnastics are based on human movements and skills, and both have the function of strengthening the body. Floor exercise and rhythmic gymnastics in sports are more similar to dance, but sports can't replace dance, because dance focuses on expressing emotions, while sports pay attention to motor skills and are rarely linked to personal emotions. Moreover, dance training can not only strengthen the body, but also improve the artistic literacy such as music appreciation ability, aesthetic ability and logical ability of emotional thinking.
(B) the relationship and differences between dance and music
In the art of dance, music is the voice of dance, dance is the form of music, and it is one of the most beautiful artistic imagination products reflecting human command. "Visible close relationship between dance and music. There is a difference between dance and music. Dance class can not only improve children's artistic appreciation ability, but also enable students to keep fit and shape their bodies. This can't be achieved in music class. Primary and secondary school students are in the physiological voice change period, and even when singing, they have the phenomenon of opening their mouths. Because dance is the use of body posture language, it makes students feel excited and more interested, so as to study hard.
