On the other hand, it can promote the all-round development of children's morality, intelligence, physique and beauty. However, children's dance is a lively and more acceptable art form for children. Children dance and adult dance have something in common, but they also have their own characteristics, mainly in the following three aspects.
First, children dance is intuitive. Children are in the stage of growth and development in all aspects, their brains are not yet mature, their thinking is intuitive, and what they accept must be vivid and concrete. Therefore, the psychology and emotion of the characters in children dance must be expressed through specific dance movements. Second, children dance childlike innocence. Children's interest here includes children's interests and hobbies, which is the tendency of children's inquiry consciousness about something. Children like to play games, and the behaviors such as pushing, pulling, jumping and rolling in games are the reference factors for children's dance movements.

However, in the process of teaching, we have found a common problem, that is, there is no scientific and systematic teaching theory in children dance education for a long time, which is usually only a supplement to music teaching, and its importance has not been really recognized. Let's explain the necessity and importance of strengthening children's dance education by analyzing the significance of children's dance education.
