Early childhood dance is an important discipline in early childhood education, an important part of early childhood music teaching, and has always been a cultural and artistic activity enjoyed by adults and children, which not only enhances the physical development of young children and cultivates their sentiment, but also develops young children's observation, memory, thinking and imagination, and the ability to feel and express music, and promotes their intellectual development. It can also develop children's observation, memory, thinking, imagination, musical perception and expression and promote their intellectual development. Early childhood dance education and teaching activities for young children's physical and mental development provides a vivid, broad stage.
However, it is not easy to put a young child's dance on the stage successfully. Some teachers only focus on the choreography and training of the dance, but neglect the preparatory work before the performance, which makes it easy for the children to appear on the scene during the performance of the bias stage, take the wrong props, nervousness and forget the movement and expression of the other cases. It can be seen that the preparation of young children's dance before the performance is important and necessary. The following is my work and years, through the organization of children's dance this activity and the three experiences:
One, long-term preparation
In order to let the children will be the image of the action, the formation of habits in the mind, it is necessary to do long-term preparation.
First of all, the preparation of ideas. In the creation of a new dance, young children before learning, should be young children ideological education, do to make young children feel comfortable, arouse the interest of young children, so that young children want to dance desire, and then in the satisfaction of young children's desire. Because in the process of practicing dance, from time to time, the same action is repeated many times, the child can not help but feel disgusted, this time or want to go to the bathroom? On the basis of the teacher's reasoning, to meet the desire of young children, never overly reprimanded young children, demotivated. But often in the rest of the children, the children show unusual excitement, the mood is higher than the dance, when the teacher said a hundred times, in order to let the children get a rest, we must use strong language to make them quiet, do the most comfortable rest position, close your eyes, listen to a few songs or stories, the teacher and then say a few jokes, so that the child's mental and physical strength to get relaxation. Before practicing, we should do ideological work on children's perseverance: "Do you want us to win a prize for this dance? We must be like the People's Liberation Army uncle is not afraid of hard, not afraid of tired, in the face of suffering, tired to overcome, believe that our children are the world's strongest, the most resilient." Thus, the young children's "morale", so that their emotional interest to reach a new climax.
Secondly, the preparation of expression. The success of a dance, whether or not to make people happy, expression is a very important rating standard, which directly affects the stage effect of the dance. In the usual training, the expression training should be treated as an important link to grasp. Adults in the dance expressionless, as the audience described "who owes them a few hundred dollars like", such comments are because usually do not develop the habit of expression practice. It is not easy for children to connect abstract music with concrete movement. In order for children to combine music and movement and design appropriate expressions, it is necessary to introduce the music to the children, the children basically understand the content of the music, in the teacher's demonstration, and then learn, learn the children to learn much easier. Expression is not once or twice can be practiced, it should be throughout the dance rehearsal, so as to be strengthened, in order to show the most lovely side of the children to everyone, to achieve the effect of audio-visual combination.
Finally, develop problems and solve them in time. Children are temperamental, and many problems will arise in the rehearsal process. For example, the expression is not in place, the action is not ready, props take the wrong and so on. To each of the problems that arise are given a timely solution. Teachers should motivate and inspire young children, and contact them many times, so that they can strengthen their consciousness and form a correct imprint in their minds. For example, in the rehearsal of "China Wa", there is a very simple action, is to flatten the armpits, with the front and back of the children armpits connected to a line, after I found the problem did not deal with it in time, but let the children after the dance will be this problem and other problems together, after a few times, this action is still not aligned, I learned from the lesson, so let the children alone to practice this action, after a few times the children's action to be strengthened, in the subsequent contact, this action is always the right imprint in the mind. Later contact, this movement is always neat, see the importance of timely problem solving.
Second, the preparation for the performance
The long term preparation is actually just the foundation for the performance. It is directly related to whether this dance can be on stage, the key to the stage effect. Then. Teachers in this stage are to do what preparatory work?
1, young children should pay attention to the protection of the body, to avoid getting sick, due to the training of hard work, children go out to play the opportunity to reduce the parents as soon as they are free to take them out to play, in order to avoid the occurrence of accidents before the performance, so be sure to do a good job for the children and their parents, to obtain the cooperation of parents. Use a soft tone to teach children not to be willful, and also tell parents not to always let their children be. Be aware of each child's physical condition and care for them. Understand each child's physical condition and care for them. Such as performances in the field, the need to take the car, you should know in advance which children are carsick, before getting on the car for carsick children to eat medicine, so that carsick children sitting in the front row, and urge children must not be chaotic, a good hungry sleep, to save energy.
2, must pay attention to the rehearsal. Rehearsals and formal performances are basically similar to the formal performance of the problems to appear in the rehearsal of the basic can be reflected, so that teachers rehearsal after some preparation, the more problems, the more determination and confidence in the performance on the stage, the rehearsal to pay attention to what?
A, know the direction of the stage in advance, orientation practice due to the development of young children's perceptual ability is not safe, so the stage strain is poor, easy to turn, know the direction in advance is to let the children familiar with the stage, orientation training for young children, in order to avoid steering on the stage, to the young children to carry out multi-directional practice, in order to train the young children's resilience, so that the young children " The authorities are not confused".
B, pay attention to keep the distance, produce a good sense of distance, the method can be: the beginning of the positioning with markers, young children according to the markers to determine their own position, skillful and gradually transition to no markers, in order to train the young children's perception, so that the young children to produce an abstract memory. Reinforcement of good, on stage naturally will not mess the horse's foot, and to participate in major events, only give a chance to walk the stage, must seize this opportunity, not only to urge children to pay attention to each link, the teacher should also be a person who has the heart to remember the size of the stage in order to rehearsal after the practice of the practice after the practice of the use of the rehearsal, but also pay attention to the rehearsal of all the problems that arise, write down, in one by one to solve the problem, to prepare for the official performance.
C, on the field of the situation to be calm, in order to set the mood, the stage will be put on dry ice, there is a transformation of the lights, the children face these to be calm, do not panic, if the costumes, headdresses, or props accident, ask the children do not care about him, just jump their own, just think of themselves as the world's most beautiful, the most beautiful on the line.
D, the last is the official performance if allowed to post the logo, you can be ready to post the logo, in case the child on the stage in case of hot-headed, do not know what to do.
3, the thickness of the makeup is determined by the occasion. General hunger, if the venue with everyone face-to-face public performance, it should be painted thick makeup, the eyes painted larger, lips, blush painted deeper, so that the expression to make vivid, the audience see at a glance. If you are participating in a live program, avoid dark circles under the eyes and a big red face. Should draw light makeup, eyebrows should be outlined clearly, eyes outlined with eyeliner, eye shadow to coffee color; face should be the first to play foundation, and to light fainting, the whole face looks clear, clean, natural, so that the makeup is photogenic.
4, the child to have a person in charge. Rehearsal will have a lot of units, many people are more chaotic, so be sure to count the children accurately, the children in batches to the teacher specifically responsible for. This is responsible for the child's teacher to be responsible for the child's body, spirit, make-up, props and other aspects, but also responsible for the child's food and clothing, children's clothing replacement. A variety of items must also be assigned to specialists in charge, or before going to the field to what nothing, into a mess.
See, the rehearsal of this four how important we yo ah want to dance in the formal performance of outstanding results, we should pay great attention to the rehearsal, in the rehearsal can get a lot of experience, encountered problems, solve the problem, to enhance the quality of the formal performance.
Three, the preparations before the scene
Dance has been shaped, and we sweat, tears, hard work for so long, the dance is good or bad on this blog, so the preparations before the scene to pay more attention to, and strict requirements, otherwise our efforts will be wasted. What preparations should be made before the show?
1, the first thing to do is to turn in a good dance tape. The selected tape, the sound effect must be good, because the music is the soul of the dance, the music effect is not good, will affect the effect of the performance of young children, can not reach the audio-visual combination.
2. Check the costumes and props before the performance, and focus on the key points. In order to avoid clothing and props in the performance of the problem, will be every part of the check, should be fixed part must be fixed. Frequent errors in the place to focus on emphasizing that things are unpredictable, if the situation really occurs on the stage, do not care about him, continue to dance, think of yourself as the most beautiful, put all your heart into the dance.
3. Encourage your toddler and do mental work on him. Tell the children that we have worked so hard and practiced for so long, and now the time to perform has come, and we have to be confident that we can dance well. At this moment, we should educate the children positively, not to criticize, otherwise it will hurt the children's self-esteem, demotivate them, and there is excessive pressure in their hearts, and their interest in dance will be greatly reduced. Before going on stage to let the children know how much the teacher loves them and cares about them, how much their parents love them and care about them, how much the audience likes them, people like beautiful children, so on the stage to show their most beautiful side to the audience. To encourage the children, so that the children's confidence doubled, the children's spirit is good, the dance natural effect is good.
Pre-performance preparation is the most important of the three stages before the performance, is the most important, should focus on.
Children are by nature active, control is not fully developed, management is naturally not easy, but to understand each child, seize each child's hungry psychological characteristics, one by one to do the work, many problems will be solved. Our garden dance "China baby" 20 children, is no basic skills, in order to this dance, children and teachers have suffered a lot. But teachers always keep a good spirit to face the children, not because of the tedious preparation and give up, and finally achieved the honor of the first prize of the Bureau, and was invited by the Victory cable station to Dongying to do the "June 1" program live broadcast of the shooting, this achievement is linked to the performance of the tedious preparation before the show.
A successful dance for the people to accept, love, is with the behind the scenes of those complex and small but also its important preparatory work is inseparable. Of course, this is just a year of my work in the activities of a little experience, although because of these preparations I have made some achievements, but there are certainly insufficient places, hope that the long and take, short and discarded.
