1. It's not easy to confirm that children really have a certain talent for dancing, because most parents know little about dancing, and it's really difficult to confirm whether their children have a talent for dancing by their own ability. But as long as children receive basic dance education, parents should pay more attention to their children's progress and communicate with dance teachers. If the children's dance level improves rapidly or the dance teacher speaks highly, please ask the dance teacher or friends who are engaged in dance specialty to observe more. Children with dancing talent are not ugly in the eyes of professionals.
2. Make sure that children have a strong interest in dancing. Interest is the best teacher. Interest can make him persist in the long and arduous dance learning process, which is more gratifying than his dance talent.
3. We should respect children's own wishes, and dance is not the only way out for children to grow into talents. Although many children have shown certain advantages in dance learning, please consider their own wishes before deciding whether to let them take the professional dance route.
Secondly, the professional dance route should be decided as soon as possible, because childhood is the golden age to learn the basic skills of dance. As far as we know, many people who showed amazing talent in dancing in their youth did not embark on this road because they could not get the support of their parents. When they grow up, it will be much more difficult to learn to dance. So what should parents do? We suggest that:
1. Let children receive basic dance education from an early age. Now there are many dance training classes organized by children's palaces or clubs. Children learn dance here, which has little influence on their cultural learning, and can be regarded as amateur cultural activities. In the dance training class, children's basic dance skills will be effectively trained, and their talent and interest in dance will gradually show.
2. When the child is about to graduate from primary school, according to the actual situation, including talent, interest and willingness, decide to take the professional dance route, dance performance route or dance director and dance education route. If you want to engage in professional dance performance in the future, you'd better apply for the dance major of provincial and municipal art schools (usually secondary schools, starting from 5-6 years), or the secondary schools attached to some art colleges. If you consider the future development of choreography and dance education, you can continue to go to junior high school, and then consider applying for dance major in provincial and municipal art colleges after graduation (usually secondary school, the starting point of junior high school is 3 years).
3. After completing the technical secondary school courses in the dance major of provincial and municipal art schools, children can directly enter the art performance groups of song and dance troupes and opera and dance theaters to perform professional dance performances, thus developing step by step. Of course, it will be better for undergraduate dance majors to continue to be admitted to institutions of higher learning such as Beijing Dance Academy.
4. In addition, as long as children always insist on proper dance learning, even if they don't enter the dance professional school in primary and junior high schools, they can still apply for the dance major in higher art colleges after graduation from high school, learn the knowledge of dance choreography and dance education, and engage in related work in the future. However, it is worth noting that it is much more difficult for junior high school students and even senior high school students to engage in dance performances after graduation from primary school than to learn dance professionally.
