Teaching Folk Dance to Children

Teaching Folk Dance for Children

Interest is the internal drive of young children's learning, to make young children interested in folk music and dance, it is necessary to cultivate young children's feelings for folk music and dance. Here is what I have organized for you to teach children's folk dance, welcome to read.

1, to understand the characteristics of children's physiology and psychology

From the physiological point of view, children's bones are softer, easy to deform, less elastic, poor contraction, easy to fatigue, and their brain develops quickly, easy to get excited, and better bouncing power. So, when I choose the content of children's dance teaching, I will take into account the natural laws of children's physical development, the action strives to stretch, short and strong, rhythmic and cheerful, so as to show their lively and lovely character. 6 years of age, the children, in the crotch pressure exercise, the pressure of the waist of the exercise, the softness is very good, but I feel that the children in the action of the breathless, loose, and loose.

2, careful selection of materials, to move people

In the choice of music, children's dance teaching to grasp the characteristics of the children's selection of some rhythmic, strong sense of movement and catchy lyrics of the music to match the practice, choose some distinctive features, easy to be accepted by the children's music, but also they often hear the children's songs, pop songs, They often hear children's songs, pop songs, animated movie and TV songs, etc. In playing music at the same time let them to imitate or free play want to show the characters or things image, cultivate them to listen to the music to do the habit of action, the early stage to dare to show their own, dare to dance with the music.

3, appropriate guidance, open body potential

The body is the main body of the dance, leaving the body out of the dance of the true meaning of the dance, children's dance training teacher as a dance art education intermediary, the dominant role can not be ignored in the children's 'subjective initiative, the appropriate guidance to the students to use the body movement to express emotion. Do not deliberately emphasize the normative action, but first exchange, I asked the children: you think the music sounds happy, or sad? Is it energizing, or do you want to rest when you listen to it? At this point, the child will you a word I a word to answer your question, describe his feelings about the music. This will allow the children to auditory find the sense of location of the music, and then let the children themselves to do some physical movements according to the music. For example, when doing the floor press, I have the kids sit on the floor and do it according to the feeling of the music they are listening to.

4, the child as the main, the teacher as a supplement

Teachers do not over-emphasize the norms of action, such as feet straight, the upper body, and so on, and then from the process of doing them to find the problem, point out the problem, correct the problem, the child is very generous in front of their parents, dare to say, dare to do, and once in the classroom into a gentle and obedient little lamb! Nowadays, children are very generous in front of their parents, dare to speak and act, but as soon as they enter the classroom, they become a gentle and obedient little lamb. Do not dare the reason is not only afraid to say wrong, do wrong and be criticized by the teacher, so in class I first let the children dare to speak, and encourage children to dare to do action; not afraid to do wrong, wrong does not matter, as long as you dare to do, the teacher will like. Even if you find the error is not directly to criticize a student, but by the teacher demonstration, the children's mistakes by the teacher to show, and then ask the students to find out the teacher made mistakes. Through this process, the children to further recognize the action, understand the action, so that the children both move the brain, but also mastered the skills.

5, with the heart of enlightenment, in order to feel people

Children curious, active, good imitation, easy to fantasize, the inner feelings of the easy to reveal, so the attention is not easy to concentrate. Therefore, I think we should be good at the children's practical experience of life, the use of anthropomorphic animal movements, with a fairy tale or science fiction dance form, with a short, graphic, lively, storytelling dance features, to cultivate the children's interest in dance, so that they feel friendly and easy to learn, easy to accept, and gradually develop a good habit of learning. In teaching, I also found that when teaching a new dance, the teacher demonstrates the movement while letting the children memorize its route, rhythm, beat, etc., and which child remembers more and performs well will be praised which child. This will objectively improve the children's attention, and long-term training will enable the children to slowly develop a high degree of attention to good habits.

6, careful selection of materials to interest people

The so-called children's dance must be reflected in the content of the children's lives and their interests, and can not be a reprint of the adult dance. So in the choice of teaching content, must show children's joy, anger, sadness, happiness, and to be refined, to reflect the children's life dance. At the same time, we should also master the basic movements of various folk dances, style characteristics, according to the children's thoughts, feelings, physiological characteristics and the degree of change, development of children's own dance.
