Great changes in science, technology, economy and society in the world in the 21st century pose new challenges to education. Higher quality education must reform the talent training mode and pay attention to cultivating high-quality talents with one specialty and many functions. As a brand-new educational concept, quality education has laid a broad vision for education and teaching, put forward new ideas and provided new space for teaching in colleges and universities. Art education is an important part of quality education. Without art education, it is not a complete education. Dance plays an irreplaceable role in art education. Dance takes refined, organized and beautified human movements as the main means of expression, expressing people's thoughts and feelings and reflecting people's social life; It originated from labor, accompanied by literature, music and art. It is one of the earliest art forms in human history. It takes the shape of limbs, the rhythm of music and rich emotions as the basic elements, vividly reflects people's thoughts, vividly shapes the image of life, expresses people's aesthetic needs, and also cultivates people's elegant manners and correct posture. Dance education can reach the highest level of art education, fully show people's life and inner world, and make life burn and sublimate again and again.
With the society attaching great importance to all-round quality talents, especially after the release of the State Council's "Decision on Deepening Education Reform and Promoting Quality Education in an All-round Way", in order to vigorously promote the construction of campus culture, create a healthy, up-to-date, elegant, civilized and harmonious campus atmosphere with the characteristics of the times, and cultivate high-quality qualified talents, colleges and universities are strengthening and perfecting art education, and introducing dance education into the campus as one of the quality education courses.
The purpose of offering dance education courses in colleges and universities is not to make every student become a specialized dancer, but to regard it as an aesthetic education. The purpose is to cultivate students' cultural literacy, improve students' aesthetic ability and artistic appreciation ability, improve the level of dance appreciation, and finally improve the scientific and cultural level of the whole nation and the artistic literacy of the new generation. It takes a process to change from exam-oriented education to quality education. The main purpose of dance education and quality education in colleges and universities is to educate students in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty through appreciation, creation, training and performance, to develop their potential ability and to cultivate new people for socialism. Under the influence of people's aesthetic needs, dance education plays an increasingly prominent role in the quality education of contemporary college students.
First, the role of dance education in moral education
Wu Xiaobang, a famous dancer in China, once said: "Art cultivates people's good moral sentiments and noble qualities with its appeal, and inspires people's optimism and enterprising spirit." Plato in ancient Greece also regarded aesthetic education as a special way or supplementary means of moral education, which made it subordinate to moral education. Offering dance courses in colleges and universities, through teachers' vivid explanation of dance knowledge and principles, can make students have a deeper understanding and understanding of dance art, and can gradually develop their positive and optimistic thoughts and emotions, which will invisibly contribute to the formation of capitalist ideals; China's long dance tradition and colorful folk dances can cultivate students' patriotic feelings; Group dance has strict unity and compulsion in teaching, training, rehearsal and performance, which can cultivate students' collectivism and sense of cooperation and strengthen discipline. Strength dance can cultivate students' courage, heroism and enterprising spirit; Lyric dance can enrich students' delicate emotions and express patriotic enthusiasm; Strict training can hone students' strong will and hard-working spirit. It should be said that dance teaching in colleges and universities is realized through students' own participation, feelings and experiences. It really plays the role of entertaining and self-education, and has the irreplaceable role of book knowledge and other forms. It completely conforms to the basic principles of quality education and is one of the important means of moral education for students.
Second, the role of dance education in intellectual education
Many people think that dance teaching only belongs to skill training and does not impart knowledge. Actually, it is not. What college students need is not only the improvement of professional skills, but also the all-round development and excavation of their own potential. Dance art is the art of expressing thoughts and feelings through certain human body shapes, expressions and music. The aesthetic process of dance art is completed through the thinking mode in images of human brain and accompanied by human emotional experience. Physiologically speaking, people's logical thinking and image thinking are located in the left and right regions of the brain, respectively. They have different division of labor and are interrelated. The left brain focuses on language activities, reading comprehension, mathematical calculation and other activities, while the right brain focuses on image perception, space-time concept, art appreciation, emotional mobilization and other activities. Dance itself can also enrich people's association, fantasy and imagination. In the process of feeling dance, we can develop divergent thinking for a long time, promote the continuous enhancement of creative thinking and creative skills, and promote physical and mental health. Practice has proved that most of those who have excellent academic performance have special skills in dancing.
Third, the role of dance education in physical education
Dance is an advanced artistic sport, which plays a very direct and obvious role in physical education. Walter Terry, a famous American dancer, discussed the social function of dance art from many aspects through his own observation and analysis. He emphasized that the art of dance has a certain effect on people's physical strength and emotion, and on people's coordination and health. He said, "use dance materials for education to develop body muscles, adjust muscles and maintain body balance;" The use of dance practice and dance rhythm in treatment can help the injured body and depressed mind recover. Dance is an exercise in this respect. "Dance education in colleges and universities is not as strict as professional dance teaching, but it also corrects students' bad natural posture in the process of continuous training, which helps to train and maintain good body shape and posture. At the same time, dancing can also enhance physical fitness, keep fit and get rid of diseases. For example, the training of special physical qualities, such as strength, flexibility, control, stability, coordination, flexibility and endurance, will contribute to the all-round development of college students' body organ system. For example, in dance quality training, holding your chest can not only fully expand your chest, but also cultivate students' temperament and mental outlook. In waist and abdomen training, it can play the role of massage and kneading, promote the blood circulation of the liver, improve the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract, exercise your waist and abdomen frequently, and digest the excess fat in your waist and abdomen, thus achieving the effect of losing weight and beautifying the body.
Fourthly, the role of dance education in aesthetic education.
Aesthetic education is an educational activity to cultivate students' correct aesthetic concept and the ability to appreciate and create beauty. Dance education is the most intuitive and vivid education in aesthetic education. In life, beauty is everywhere. Rodin once said: "Beauty is everywhere. For our eyes, it is not the lack of beauty, but the lack of discovery. " An important symbol of aesthetic quality is the ability to feel beauty. In addition, dance education is also conducive to cultivating high-grade "cultural people". Dance art has rich cultural connotation, including humanistic thought, philosophical thought and aesthetic thought. The human body is the most beautiful, dance is an advanced human movement, and it is a beautified human movement. By receiving dance education, college students will be more elegant in temperament, emotion, self-restraint, manners, appearance and manners. Russian revolutionary Kalinin once said: If one learns to dance, even walking will be beautiful and elegant. Entering the world of dance, college students can fully appreciate the beauty of body language, the inner experience rises to the natural expression of the human body, and the vitality that young people should have is fully displayed. College students' healthy physical beauty and inner emotional world are fully experienced in dance. Cultivating high-grade "cultural" people with dance is the deeper significance of dance education to promote quality education. And this is exactly what we expect in quality education.
The essence of quality education lies in attaching importance to the cultivation of talents' innovative ability and practical ability, the development of talents' personality and the overall improvement of talents' comprehensive quality. Art education, especially dance education, is an extremely effective way in talent quality education. Artistic thinking is closely related to human creativity and imagination, and human body is the carrier of thought and life. Only a free and harmonious body can carry the most harmonious life. Therefore, dance education plays an important role in cultivating comprehensive talents's quality education in colleges and universities. It can really open people's body and mind and cultivate people's thinking ability and creativity in images.
To sum up, a correct understanding of the role of dance teaching in college students' comprehensive quality education will play an important role in comprehensively promoting quality education. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council made a major decision to deepen education reform and promote quality education in an all-round way, which is a new starting point for China education to change its educational concept, talent training mode and promote the development of China education.
