Today, when people pay more and more attention to quality education, dance training for young children is developing rapidly from large and medium-sized cities to small towns, with strong momentum. However, there are many problems in children's dance art education in small towns, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. The quality of school running is not up to standard

In recent years, the dance training in kindergartens in small and medium-sized towns has There are swarms of schools, including county offices, town offices, village offices, community offices, individual offices, etc. Due to the uneven levels of school running, there is a certain gap in hardware and software, and there are also obvious gaps in dance teaching, resulting in different teaching effects. . At the same time, local culture and education departments have not paid much attention to kindergarten dance education. Anyone can run a class and enroll students as soon as they put up a sign or an advertisement. This kind of disordered state not only reduces the quality of children's dance training, but also has a negative impact on the dance training itself.

2. Imperfect teaching conditions

Lack of teaching staff. In some small towns, teacher qualifications are not guaranteed. Except for a few dance teachers who have received professional training, most teachers have low professional quality. Teaching materials are not well planned. Due to the lack of high-quality and excellent dance teaching materials for children's dance, the teaching content of children's dance will be one class and one style, and there will be a variety of situations. The phenomenon of teaching where you want to go often happens. Insufficient funding. In some kindergartens, the well-rehearsed dances will be aborted largely because they do not have the funds to make costumes and props. Also because of insufficient funds, we cannot buy relevant equipment, such as tape recorders, VCDs, CDs, etc. Dance appreciation and music appreciation are not possible. Funding issues are one of the key factors affecting the quality of kindergarten dance teaching. The hardware facilities cannot keep up. Kindergarten facilities also have great constraints on dance teaching. Some kindergartens lack the necessary conditions because they do not have formal dance classrooms; while some temporarily set up a classroom to cope with inspections and then turned it into a children's activity room after the inspection; especially those below the county level Most of the early childhood dance classes are courtyard-style, which not only affects the learning effect, but may also cause adverse consequences to children's physical development, such as muscle strains, bone injuries, etc., which greatly restrict the development of early childhood dance education.

3. Teaching methods are not suitable

Adult-oriented teaching is serious. The adultization of children's dance is first affected by instructors and choreographers, because these adults do not use children's eyes and thinking to see and think about the things they want to express when creating, or they are not familiar enough with children's lives, and they are not familiar with children's lives. The artistic characteristics of children's dance are not very clear. In addition, some instructors try to save trouble by slightly modifying existing adult dance programs to rehearse and perform for young children. Inadequate understanding of children's dance. In recent years, in many children's dance performances, we have seen that young actors can master many difficult dance skills, such as "Tiger Leap", "Six O'clock", "Barbarian", etc., which makes people unable to help but wonder. They applauded, but we know that dance is body language formed by basic movements, technical movements and combination movements. It is a means of portraying a character's personality and showing the character's thoughts and feelings, rather than simply showing the actor's mastery of difficult skills, because after all, young children Dance also includes knowledge and thought.

Suggestions and countermeasures for kindergarten dance education. Control the scale, implement standards, and effectively strengthen the management of kindergarten dance education. Education and cultural departments at all levels should incorporate early childhood dance training into their respective work scopes, strengthen management, and provide classified guidance based on standards. The dance teaching offered in different types of kindergartens shall be uniformly assessed, quantitative standards shall be formulated, non-standard dance classes shall be gradually eliminated, and dance training in kindergartens at different levels shall be conducted if conditions permit, and shall be discontinued unconditionally, and the quality assurance shall be effectively implemented. Go to the real place. To brainstorm, create conditions, and create a good atmosphere for early childhood dance education, we must first prepare teaching materials and standardize teaching. It is necessary to combine reality and compile targeted and intuitive dance combinations for training based on the folk customs of the region and the physical and mental development of children. Secondly, we need to increase funding investment.

For a mature work of art to be displayed in front of people, it must have costumes, lights, music, props, etc. to serve it. Therefore, kindergartens, society, and parents must provide financial support for children's dance teaching. Finally, we must strengthen infrastructure construction. Raise awareness, strengthen training, and strive to promote the comprehensive improvement of the comprehensive quality of children's dance teachers. The characteristics of children's dance are highlighted in liveliness, innocence, exaggeration, and fun. Therefore, children's dance should be short, lively and interesting, and the scene should be simple. When creating and choreographing children's dances, teachers should properly use the basic tones of children's dances such as happiness, joy, humor, humor and passion, refine their innocent and vivid movements, absorb them into the basic materials of children's dance, and form interesting stories or dance shapes. To inspire children's imagination and make dance have a certain ideological quality. The children's dance created in this way is suitable for the physical and mental development of children.

The early childhood stage is the foundation stage of life, and early childhood teachers are the first enlightenment teachers of the younger generation. As a preschool teacher, you should first be a child's friend and partner, so that children can be psychologically safe and give them full opportunities to express their desires and abilities in an atmosphere of freedom, respect, and equality.

In addition, in dance teaching, attention should be paid to stimulating and maintaining the motivation of children's attention, guiding the direction of attention, and improving concentration, which are important tasks of the teacher. Children of different ages generally use different methods: leaning forward, in a low position, and with a soft posture are better than younger children; looking directly at the children with kind and gentle eyes, with changes in speed and intensity, rich and emphasized Semantic and emotional language, this approach helps older toddlers focus quickly.

In life, we find that when young children watch dances on TV or in movies, they will dance excitedly and imitate the movements. This shows that it is the nature of young children to like singing and dancing. So we should fully mobilize this positive factor.
