On how to cultivate children's interest in learning folk dance

First, contact in daily life. Music is the soul of dance. Folk dance music is always inseparable from the characteristics of lively tunes, lively rhythm and cheerful artistic conception, and children also like this kind of music works very much. Bright emotional colors are easy to infect children and cause them to sing emotionally; Melody with strong rhythm often causes children's action response. They can't help beating time, shaking their bodies or doing actions to the music. Therefore, children are often used to playing some cheerful and beautiful folk dance music after dinner and before leaving the garden, and explaining the content of the music and the thoughts and feelings expressed, coupled with actions with typical national characteristics, and telling the children the meaning expressed by these actions, so that children can get in touch with folk dance art. If the music of Zhuang folk dance "Towel Dance" is often played in class, children will dance with the cheerful and clear rhythm as soon as they hear this piece. The teacher took the opportunity to make some towel flowers with a towel and told the children; Teacher's towel dance is the most representative folk dance form of Zhuang nationality. It is a kind of dance that people dance when they relax after working in mountainous areas, or sing and dance to celebrate grain harvest and festivals. The main feature of towel dancing is dancing with a towel in hand, which shows a very festive scene. The children took out the handkerchief in their pockets with great interest and followed the teacher's movements. Soon a sea of handkerchief flowers danced in the activity room ... After a relaxed and pleasant rest, the children quickly mastered the basic essentials of this movement unconsciously. Second, learn in educational activities. With the experience of initial contact in daily life and the understanding of various ethnic minorities in special activities, it will be much easier for children to learn folk dances of various ethnic groups. The choice of folk dance in kindergarten dance textbooks is not simply to imitate the dance movements of adults, but to choose dances with rich style and characteristics, which are most representative and children's characteristics, that is, to retain the original style of folk dance and have children's characteristics. Only in this way can the children's enthusiasm for learning and jumping be aroused. Learning folk dance should adopt a step-by-step method, that is, learning the most typical movements of folk dance first. For example, to learn yi dance, learn the rhythm "three steps" first; To learn Yao dance, first learn the rhythm of "turning the flower hat"; To learn zhuang dance, you must first learn the rhythm of "towel dance" ... With these movements as the foundation, you can easily learn the finished dance. For example, learning the Miao dance "Spinning Hemp".
