On how to teach children's dance well.
Dance is the best way for children to interpret music. I love dance so much because it is intuitive, vivid, vivid and lively, and it is an activity that children like. Dance education can not only develop children's physical function, but also cultivate children's character and morality. It can also develop children's observation, attention, memory, thinking ability, feeling and expressing music with the help of body movements. But how can a dance teacher give children a good dance lesson? After several years of practice and exploration, in view of parents' understanding of children dance and children's curious, active and fun characteristics, I summarized the following points:

(1) Teachers should first let parents know the importance of dance lessons for young children, let parents guide their children, and actively cooperate with dance teachers to pay attention to their children's learning dance, which will help our teaching.

(1) Children's dance can develop children's observation, attention, thinking ability and memory. In dance teaching, it is an important task for teachers to stimulate and maintain children's attention motivation, guide attention direction and improve attention concentration.

(2) children dance can develop the function of children's limb movement. Dance is a kind of space, time and comprehensive dynamic plastic arts, which takes refined, organized and beautified human movements as the main artistic expression means and is created according to children's physiological and age characteristics. Children often participate in lively dance education and activities, which can increase their physical strength, promote the physiological function development of children's bones, muscles, breathing, nervous system and circulatory system, accelerate children's metabolism, and make their bodies grow and develop continuously. In the process of learning movements and practicing movements to perform this dance, children's breathing is accelerated, their heartbeat is accelerated, and the number of gastrointestinal peristalsis is increased. The nervous system and circulatory system are also actively involved in the activities. It can be seen that dance can not only develop the coordination and rhythm of children's movements, but also play an important role in the healthy development of children's physical functions.

(3) Children's dance can cultivate children's character and morality. A person's character is not born, nor can it be formed overnight. Although people's physiological conditions, especially the characteristics of the nervous system, have a certain influence on the formation of personality, this influence is minimal. People's character is formed by the influence of society and education in long-term life practice. Dance teaching is also very important for the formation of children's moral character. Through the study of national folk dance, children can be trained to love the motherland, the collective and the national music and dance. In addition, there are many genres and forms of theme in children dance. In the process of learning, rehearsing and performing dance, children can enjoy beautiful dancing, sweet melody, singing, gorgeous scenery and bright costume props at the same time, which not only conforms to children's curious and active life interest, but also builds a bridge between children's hearing and vision, so that they can continuously improve their ability to coordinate physical and mental activities while being influenced by artistic beauty. In short, carrying out children's dance education activities is conducive to cultivating children's interest in music and dance, developing children's intelligence and cultivating children's good personality quality. At the same time, it can also meet the needs of children's imagination, association, thinking and creative expression, communication and cooperation. Provide necessary external conditions for the healthy development of children's body and mind. Therefore, dance is an important content and powerful means to promote the all-round development of children's morality, intelligence, physique and beauty in early childhood education.

(2) Before class, teachers need to prepare music with clear rhythm and strong sense, which can arouse children's actions, inspire and guide children's imagination and creativity, and let children express their feelings about music with actions. According to the short duration of children's interest in learning a certain content, dance classroom teaching can be carried out by telling stories, solve riddles on the lanterns, playing small games and dancing, which not only enriches students' knowledge, but also cultivates students' aesthetic consciousness. In the teaching process, the teaching contents and methods should be diversified.

(1) Simulation teachers should provide students with beautiful and standardized movements for visual imitation, and take complete or partial demonstrations of difficult movements according to the teaching materials and different teaching stages. Teachers should pay attention to guiding students to carefully observe the main points of the demonstration before the demonstration.

(2) Explain, Prompt and Password Teachers use clever, vivid and specific language and passwords to help students understand, feel and master the names, rules and standards of the actions they have learned, as well as the thoughts and feelings they have expressed. The teacher's language should be kind, the speech speed should be slow, and the password should be loud. Be sure to catch the child's attention.

(3) decomposition and combination teaching method The teacher first decomposes the key points, difficulties and basic movements in the dance movements, and then combines them, such as teaching feet before hands, teaching left before right, teaching up and down first, crossing the northeast yangko, teaching kicking first, crossing later, teaching arm flowers again, and finally combining them.

(4) Practice allows students to do actions by themselves. In practice, teachers should put forward clear and appropriate requirements, adopt various practice methods such as whole class practice, group practice and individual practice, and give guidance.

(5) Encouraging law teachers to love and encourage students can be their motivation to learn. Dance teachers should be caring, childlike in language and kind in expression, give more encouragement to students when they are tired or incompetent in training, and praise them in time when they make progress, so that every child can feel that you like him. For example, in class, I call students by their first names instead of their first names, and call them by their nicknames "Tong Tong, progress today" and "Guoguo, you are great", or give students a trusting and encouraging look, gesture or a definite evaluation. It will be very effective to use encouraging teaching method.

(6) situational method sets the scene according to the content of dance teaching. Junior students can use interesting, concrete and intuitive teaching AIDS to attract their attention, such as the rhythm of animals, and make some animal headdresses for students to wear. Students' mood is high and the atmosphere is warm, so the teaching effect will be good.

(7) The game method is to use the tone and form of the game to teach dance, meet students' entertainment needs, and arouse their pleasant feelings about learning activities, such as competition activities, grouping ratio, male-female classmate ratio and so on. I remember teaching hip pressing exercises at that time. The children were little frogs. The topic of the competition was "Which little frog has the flattest belly on the ground?" The teacher is the frog mother to check, so that each child's hip joint is opened to the maximum and becomes a "little frog" with standard movements.

(8) Individual method takes care of individual differences, and gives individual counseling to students with strong ability, good foundation or weak ability and poor foundation, and teaches students in accordance with their aptitude.

(9) Evaluate the joy of sharing performance and creation with master students, and put forward suggestions for revision between teachers and students or between students themselves, so as to promote students' continuous progress.

(10) Inspiration method refers to that in the process of impromptu dance teaching, teachers inspire and guide students through various means to maximize their creative potential. In addition, teachers should follow students' cognitive rules, and dance teachers should not be eager to achieve success in teaching and violate the laws of nature, otherwise it will be counterproductive. For example, rushing for success in some basic training exercises will harm students' health. Therefore, in teaching, slow down the pace, step by step, let children dance while playing, relax and enjoy the joy of dance art.

In a word: every lesson of dance class should be carefully designed, and the teaching process should be unfolded layer by layer, interlocking and forming a whole, so as to attract students. As a dance teacher, it is very important to demonstrate in the teaching process, so every movement should be elegant, beautiful, in place and intimate, so that students will be willing to imitate more movements. In class, we also pay attention to praise and encouragement for students. Even a look or a nod is an encouragement, which increases their confidence. Of course, dance teachers must constantly improve their own quality, choose corresponding teaching content according to the purpose of quality education, and carefully design teaching methods in order to have a good dance class.
