Application of Dance Therapy in Preschool Education
Dance therapy belongs to the expressive art therapy in psychology, which combines music, painting, psychodrama, game therapy and other psychotherapy, and mainly stimulates the potential by exploring and developing body language.

Childhood is the most important period of human development. In addition to the development of language, the expressive ability of body movement language directly affects children's physical and mental health and emotional management ability, which is the embodiment of the balance of self-control of body behavior. Game-based dance therapy can stimulate children's creativity in games with the help of props such as music, and timely screen and diagnose children with abnormal behavior and psychology.

Kesenberg, a child psychologist and pioneer of dance therapist, made a practical study on the psychological development tasks and action elements of all ages in infancy. He found that children have different action patterns at different ages. In early childhood, their behavior patterns contain psychological significance. When we understand the meaning behind children's sports rhythm, we can better support children's growth.

Preschool teachers can learn how to feel the child's body by learning dance therapy, and discover the child's potential and the places that need attention in time. It is of great help to preschool education and parent-child interaction. At present, foreign countries attach great importance to the development of children's physical and mental health by dance therapy, and large kindergartens in some cities in China have also carried out the training of children dance therapists. The personal growth of preschool teachers also needs to be solved in dance, helping others to help themselves, starting with children!
