It should be done in their language, so that they can understand. First of all, imitation comes first. Therefore, the teacher is required to imitate the action accurately, so that the children can understand it at a glance. Add language in the process of imitation. For example, if you say hip-sending, the word hip-sending is not suitable for children. Because there are all kinds of crotch-sending, I don't know what kind of style you are talking about. In action, you can say how to push your hips out and in which direction. For example, in the words of children, sucking legs means finding breasts with your knees; For example, the two sides face the sky? Just say you can stand up straight, put your hands in the air, find your ears, back and so on. Different actions have different explanations, in short, let the children understand.

Q: What should children pay attention to when learning the basic skills of dancing? A: Children are in the stage of physical development, and attention should be paid to the growth of children's bones and muscles during training. The training of children should not be copied from children. But children can do some simple and flexible standing and sitting exercises. For example, sitting on the ground and boating; Be a small ingot, be a swallow on the ground; Lie on the ground and stretch your legs. A lot of dance training needs to train children's correct dance posture in dance works. Let the children have a correct dance posture in the process of performing dance.

If it is a popular dance, we should choose children's songs and let the children dance while singing. Small classes should focus on rhythm, which can stimulate children's interest.

In the dance class that started in our kindergarten, there was a 5-year-old girl who was in poor health, but she was particularly interested in dancing. She is active in her studies and does well in every class. But her parents are worried. How do we convince them? A: With more than 20 years of rehearsal experience, the children in the dance class are not only good for learning dance, but also good for their health. Usually other classes in kindergarten are suffering from the flu, but the children in the dance class are very healthy because they often exercise. For children who are weak, pay attention to care during rehearsal, drink plenty of water, mend clothes in time, undress before dancing, and don't go out to dry immediately after sweating. After dancing training, her body will gradually get better, much better than not taking part in dancing. This will convince parents.

A: To make children dance happily, it is necessary to organically combine the laws of dance art with the physical and mental characteristics of children. The method is as follows: 1) Choose interesting content for children and let them learn dance happily. That is, things and things full of children's life interest, which children like and are familiar with. For example, in dances such as "Good Mom" and "Penny", children are singing and dancing, and their feelings are true and full, and they learn to dance happily without knowing it; 2) Stimulate interest and let children learn dance happily. Teachers can let children enjoy live performances or use props in dance teaching to stimulate children's interest; 3) Play the role of music to help children learn dance happily. Music is the soul of dance, and music and dance are the unity of mutual expression and promotion. Vivid music can give full play to children's imagination and expressive force, so that children can listen to and appreciate music more, and then organically integrate dance movements, so that children can learn dance happily. 4) Let children learn dance happily in various ways. Use stories, games, costumes, stages, costumes and other methods to let children learn dance happily. In short, different dance works should be taught to children at different ages, but they should all be children to avoid adulthood. Q: Hello, Teacher Yu! Will the use of multimedia teaching affect the communication between teachers and children, causing children to be inactive?

You should do some simple music rhythm and rhythm exercises in the small class. In the middle class, on this basis, we can do some nursery rhymes. In two or three minutes, there will be formation changes, songs and some dance moves, which will make children like to jump. It should be noted that it should not be too difficult, but also prevent adulthood. Dance movements should try to choose the basic pace suitable for children. If it is characteristic dance, such as minority dance and foreign dance, we should also choose typical and simple movements. The picture changes smoothly, which is convenient for children to remember and lays the foundation for arranging more complicated dance works in large classes. Q: How does dance education embody quality education? A: Children can be influenced by beauty in the process of learning dance, and at the same time they can be cultivated by collective concepts, because dance is danced by everyone; Organizational discipline education can be carried out, because strict discipline is needed in the process of rehearsing dance; Can promote the healthy development of the left and right brain, because dance is through the left and right hands and feet and body movement; You can get the concept education of number, because there are various objects (circle, triangle, square, etc.) with the change of distance. ) in dance; You can get the training of logical thinking, because there are themes in dance works, etc ... In short, you can be inspired and educated imperceptibly, and promote the improvement of children's physical quality, ideological and moral character, intellectual development and aesthetic education, so as to achieve the effect of educating with beauty. Dance training can also promote children's bone development and improve their physical fitness; Dance teaching can also develop children's intelligence, cultivate children's psychological quality of striving for progress, and cultivate children's attention, memory and quick response ability.

At first, ballet was a kind of dance performed by the masses or in the square in Europe. In the process of development, it has formed strict norms and structural forms. Its main feature is that actresses have to wear special pointed shoes and dance on tiptoe. As a comprehensive stage art, ballet originated in Italy and was formed in the French court in the17th century. It combines singing, dancing, music, recitation and drama. 166 1, five basic feet and twelve hand positions were established, of which five basic feet have been used up to now. Q: If children don't have a dance foundation, how can they choose a dance theme? A: We still need to compile some small groups, such as children's songs, such as "Little Bees" and "Good Baby", that is, to compile some simple small song and dance groups with four or six sentences suitable for children. Children can be interested and have training purposes, but they should pay attention to teaching them every movement with correct and standard dance postures. Don't let children swallow dates and do things blindly. Q: What kind of dance is suitable for small class children in large-scale activities? A: Small class children are suitable for performing some rhythms and simple ballads. Q: My baby moves as soon as he hears music. How should I cultivate it? A: Maybe your baby is very young. Let him listen to more music and encourage him to act spontaneously. This enabled him to find his own expressive power in music. When you get to kindergarten, you can cultivate dance according to the dance syllabus of kindergarten, and even you can put it into your dance interest and do more dance training than other children in the future. Q: At what age is it better to learn dance? A: Dancing should be said to be dancing. People are born with this function. Then, what we call standardized learning dance starts from small classes, but the learning content is different. Q: Does letting children practice basic skills such as flexibility too early affect their height? A: Reasonable and moderate flexibility exercises will not affect the physical development, but will promote the physical development of children. Q: The child can dance, but she can't dance to the music. Is it because she has no talent for dancing? Or is it because of the age of the child or other reasons? A: I don't know how old your child is. There are differences in musical rhythm among children. Some children are born with a weak sense of rhythm, which depends on our training in dance. Emphasis should be placed on remake and action points in dance. If the child doesn't understand music, let him watch other children's movements. For example, let the children raise their hands on the remake. You tell him, if others raise their hands, you immediately raise your hands and practice a few more times. With music, his sense of rhythm will improve immediately. Of course, tell your parents to listen to rhythmic music more when they get home. Children with weak sense of rhythm can be corrected by training from an early age. With the rhythm training, his dance will also improve. Q: Do children have to learn basic skills to learn dance? A: First, there are two concepts. One is what is children's dance? What is basic skill? We often think that the basic skill is the skill of bending and splitting. Nowadays, in some children's dance works, skills are often linked with skills, and the content of dance works is not paid attention to. Children's dance should pay attention to the childlike innocence and connotation of works. Use children's lively dance movements to reflect children dance's works, and don't emphasize more technical movements that are not suitable for children's development. Only by clarifying these two concepts can it be beneficial to children's dance. However, is there no training for children's dance? That's not true. The so-called training is to let him have a basic sitting posture, standing posture and basic beautiful dance movements. In the rehearsal of children's dance, teachers should teach children dance movements accurately. For example, raising your hand and shaking your head are so beautiful and handsome, which is one of the contents of early childhood training and very important. Of course, some flexibility exercises are also possible and necessary, but don't overdo it, otherwise it will affect the physical development of young children. Q: Can you introduce some websites about dance that you think are better? A: China Children's Dance Education Network, China Dance Education Network, Dance Education Network, Everyday Education and so on. Q: Hello, Professor Yu, when is the best time for children to learn dance, and what should they pay attention to in their diet? What dance to learn now is good for children's future development? A: Dancing should be said to be dancing. People are born with this function. Then, what we call standardized learning dance starts from small classes, but the learning content is different. If it is intensive dance training, you can add some wafer chocolate, yogurt and so on. To supplement the calories consumed, and pay attention to let the child drink more water to ensure his normal growth. Q: What should we pay attention to when creating small class dances? A: 1) The action is simple and interesting. 2) Dance should have certain plot content. 3) The music is cheerful, with clear rhythm, clear structure and outstanding emotional style. 4) Let children participate in the creation of dance movements. Q: What should we pay attention to in small class dance rehearsal? Answer: 1) Don't spend too much time rehearsing the dance. 2) Pay attention to strategy during rehearsal. Teachers should go among children and do what they like and are willing to accept. 3) Tell the children the contents of the dance, improve their interest and promote their mastery of the dance movements. 4) In rehearsal, encouragement and praise are the main tasks. Children are emotionally fragile and have poor psychological endurance. Teachers should patiently encourage and comfort children and make them love learning and dancing. 5) The props used for rehearsal should be carefully made. Q: May I ask Mr. Yu: Is there any requirement for teachers' language expression in dance teaching? A: The language should be very clear when rehearsing. First of all, the teacher's mind should be clear, whether it is the logical thinking in dance or his image focus, action focus and music beat. When teaching children, it is very important to be accurate in action and clear in rhythm. The focus of the action, the remake of the action, and the exact location of the picture must be clearly explained to the child. In order to make it easy for children to remember pictures, make some marks on the ground appropriately. When teaching children movements, the teacher's movements must be standardized, horizontal and vertical. Therefore, the language should be simple and accurate, so that every child can do actions on a clear basis. Q: Teacher, is it less difficult for boys to learn dance in kindergarten than for girls of the same age? A: In children's dance training, boys and girls should not be separated, but should be the same. A boy is sometimes slow to accept, but it doesn't mean he can't do it. I hope that teachers will pay attention to the elegance of boys and pay more attention to their fortitude. Q: Hello! What kind of music do you usually choose for dancing and what should you pay more attention to on the stage? A: Music depends on dance works. If it is a common ballad or song and dance, then you can choose a song and dance suitable for children, or the music of the program you want to engage in, but you must pay attention to what is suitable for children. It is more suitable for a good dance work to compose music for a special composer after the structure and theme of the dance are expressed. If you don't have the ability to write dance music, then choose some music that matches your dance structure and image as a clip. These works are based on dance works, because dance works are vivid and music is vivid, and the two must be consistent. So we advocate that people who can make music should find people who write music. The stage is just icing on the cake, and we can't rely on it completely, because our performance is for children, and he has to adapt to different occasions. Some occasions don't have a lighting group, so don't play? So don't rely on him. If possible, we should design the stage according to the connotation of the dance works, including the scenery and lighting, and of course it will cost some money. According to the different requirements of dance, you can decide whether to use the stage scenery, but the stage scenery must be simple and clean, giving people beautiful enjoyment, and don't gild the lily. Q: Hello, Teacher Yu. My child is almost 6 years old this year and has been learning dance 1.5 years. My children especially like Latin dance, but as a parent, I know nothing about dance. I don't understand why so many people learn Latin dance. A: Because the rhythm of Latin dance is lively, especially with cowboy music, it is also suitable for children's lively psychology. Latin dance is a foreign dance, so many people are learning it. Latin dance is a kind of social dance. If children want to learn ballroom dancing professionally and systematically, they must do it on the basis of a certain dance. For example, through the basic training of dance, ballet and foreign representative dance, and then practicing the techniques and skills of ballroom dancing, children can accurately use their bodies and master the style of ballroom dancing. Q: What kind of children are suitable for learning ballet? A: First of all, we must define the concept of ballet. Ballet training does not mean toe dancing, which is not suitable for children. But the basic training in ballet can be used for reference in children's training. On the question of training, the next question can also be involved. Q: How to give full play to children's subjectivity in dance teaching has been bothering me. Ask the teacher to help me solve this problem. A: There are two concepts. One is to stimulate children's subconscious mind to dance spontaneously, which is a course. One is that we rehearse children's dance works for children, which is another course. The contents of these two courses are different. If we are rehearsing dance works, we are teaching children a shaped dance, mainly teaching. If it is to inspire children, we can use multimedia to show some small group children's performances or play some music on the multimedia computer, so that children can imitate and creatively do their own actions in the music; Or, the teacher can teach a few basic movements and everyone can dance together in a group dance, so that the child's subjectivity may be brought into play. So class is different from class. Depending on what class you take, let's talk about subjectivity first. Q: Is it possible to bring some English songs to the dance so that children can learn the fun of dancing and English? Will it affect children?
