Four ways to guide the creation of children's choreography

The problem of playing the subjectivity of young children in dance teaching has been troubling dance teachers. Kindergarten Education Outline" art field goals pointed out that we should encourage children to boldly express their feelings and experiences of life around them, and cultivate children's initial ability of artistic expression and creation. Considering the above two issues together, is it possible to add some content in dance teaching that allows children to create small songs and dances from improvisation to performance? In this way, it not only injects new vitality into the traditional dance teaching, but also gives better play to the initiative and creativity of young children. Through the practice of teaching in this three-year round of primary, secondary and tertiary education, this approach is actually feasible.　　Guiding young children to dance creativity is not an easy task, it requires young children to recreate on the basis of certain dance skills. In the cultivation of young children's dance creativity can try the following methods:

First, guide young children to observe the beautiful things around them, accumulation of creative materials

Observation is the basis of creation. All the beautiful things around us are the object of our guidance to young children to observe. I think that allowing children to observe things that can be used as dance material and try to use body language to express them is an effective way to cultivate children's creativity. The teacher's main task is to guide children to master the method of observation, focusing on the observation of form, dynamics and demeanor. Previously, we do a variety of animal movement often use a fixed action, such as kittens stroking their whiskers, puppies drooping big ears and so on. In fact, through observation, you will find that an animal in addition to a flat amount of features that have been noticed by everyone, there are often other significant features that people ignore. Such as bunny rhythms, everyone more to hands erect ears, jumping to show. The class more than thirty long-eared rabbits jumping around together, although the action is right, the image is also shown, but the lack of children's feelings and experience of things. So I guided them to observe the three forms of rabbits in the children's self-produced rabbit rhythmic glue. Morphology: long ears, short tail, short forelimbs, hind limbs long; Dynamic: walk up and down a jump, and occasionally stand up; Morphology: look around, alert, sensitive. Observe and then create a rhythm, the children can be based on their own interest in understanding the different characteristics of the rabbit into their own improvisation. Some children's hands on the head to do long ears, some children's hands folded on the hips to do short tail action, there are children on the elbow in front of the chest to do the rabbit standing, the eyes are also alert to look around, vivid and lovely, alive and well.

Second, to provide adequate performance opportunities, young children experience the joy of creation

Creativity should be expressed with the help of adequate performance. Therefore, in addition to the educational activities and daily life for young children to provide a large number of performance opportunities, I also created a music corner in the corridor, put the handkerchief flowers, drums, small musical instruments and so on. For young children to choose freely. Play music, children listen to music improvisation, or groups of three or five to create a new dance, in the celebration of "June 1", New Year's Eve party, external observation, I actively strive for more children to feel successful, self-expression opportunities. Through the performance, the children's interest in dance is more intense, expression and creativity has been improved accordingly.
