Children's dance as an important part of early childhood music education, it is an image of intuitive, lively, loved by children, in early childhood quality education plays an important role. Practice has proved that a good dance works, not only can make the young children to be beautiful, but also by the subtle enlightenment and education, to promote the children's physical quality, ideological character, intellectual development and aesthetic education and other comprehensive qualities of the improvement, so as to achieve the effect of teaching in the fun, teaching in the United States. However, in the current early childhood dance education, due to the constraints of traditional dance teaching methods and teachers' own limitations in dance knowledge, once neglected the cultivation of children's interest in dance, there are some problems: on the one hand, there is a misunderstanding. Teachers do not know enough about the psychological characteristics and laws of young children in dance activities, and the positioning of kindergarten dance teaching objectives is not accurate and complete. On the other hand, the teaching methods are old-fashioned and the teaching effect is not obvious. First of all, the teaching purpose is not clear enough. In the daily teaching of kindergarten dance, teachers often focus on letting children simply imitate the dance movements and learn the teacher's "prescribed movements" as the main purpose, while neglecting to guide children to understand the dance itself and the deep meaning behind it. Secondly, the lack of in-depth understanding of the physical and mental characteristics of young children, the teaching process of young children often lack of pleasant emotional experience, innovation is not enough. For example, some teachers in the dance teaching excessively pursue the standardization and accuracy of the practice movements, while ignoring the emotional pleasure of young children, resulting in many young children often fatigue for learning new movements, and tired of repeating the old movements. I have encountered this situation in the teaching process, I remember I just graduated from school, came to the county center of kindergarten as a dance teacher, the day before the start of the school I was full of confidence, want to teach them this, teach them that, a day down the exhaustion of me, the voice is mute, but the results, but not satisfactory, I was really very hit, why? Why? Later, after my efforts and changing their teaching methods, finally got the teacher's recognition and students' favorite, the following I stand in the first line of education in these years and accumulated a little bit of teaching experience to share and exchange with you. First, the selection of materials to be appropriate Selection of materials is a very critical part of learning dance, if the selection of materials is not appropriate, it will not achieve the desired results. 1, the selected dance content should be suitable for children's psychological and physiological characteristics. Young children's dance must be young children's, that is, the portrayal of young children's nature, do not let young children's dance with adult traces, to show the innocence of young children's childishness, innocence and loveliness. 2. The selection of material should take into account the students' physical and performing qualities. Just like a singer choosing the right song for him or her to sing, it should be tailored to fit his or her voice conditions and style characteristics, not too big or too small. For example, you choreograph or choose a beautifully conceived and difficult content, more than the children's ability, will also be botched. 3, and then there are young children's dance and children's dance material selection is also very different, the selection of young children to be lively and lovely, highlighting his movements, expressions of innocence and childishness; while the selection of children's material from the psychological and physiological point of view, the performance of the connotation to be richer, the action of the performance skills to be larger, simple "gestures" will not be lovely, and also not suitable for the aesthetic needs of young children at this stage. This stage of the aesthetic needs of young children. 4, in addition, the overall selection of materials should be novel, with the flavor of the times, from the genre to the form of performance should be innovative, including the creation of dance vocabulary, movement must be ingenious, not adult, dull. In the eyes of young children, the world is full of novelties: flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water ...... As long as we stand in the perspective of young children to perceive the characteristics of things, analyze and deal with people and things, and then finally express them visually, we will produce artistic children's interests. For example, the dance "grandma's door to see a big show" starts with a nursery rhyme: "pulling a big saw, pulling a big saw, grandma's door to sing a big show ......" tells the story of a group of innocent and lively little girls after the "resistance". "Resistance", trekking, finally came to the grandma's door in high spirits, sitting in their respective positions in anticipation of the opening of the opera. The opening of the opera, the little girls in the theater when each face rich expression, reflecting the wonderful opera. Watching the opera is from the folk of a recreational activity, this dance captures the small children curious, like lively, like to participate and happy to imitate the characteristics, so it is very easy to cause young children's **** Ming and interest. 5, in addition, I think the kindergarten 3-year-old children should be mainly rhythmic movement, simple dance steps, dance games and simple basic training as a supplement. 4-year-old children can be more dance steps, increase the amount of some training exercise, dance games and skits combined. And 5-year-old children can be ground training, step combination and performance of small dance. Second, the demonstration should be vivid Whether it is adults learning dance, or young children learning dance, the common teaching method is that students imitate the teacher's demonstration. So how do teachers do demonstration according to the characteristics of dance, children's physical and mental characteristics; choose what kind of time to do the corresponding demonstration is particularly important. 1. Demonstration is the most important means in children's dance teaching, which is determined by the characteristics of dance itself and the level of children's physiology and psychology. Demonstration is the most convenient and effective way for students to get the correct visual image and kinesthetic representation, so it is obvious that demonstration is an important foundation for developing movement skills. Teachers can use their own passionate dance demonstration to infect students, stimulate students' love for dance, cultivate their interest in learning dance, help them better understand the dance works, and perform dance more perfectly. "Demonstration" is intuitive and visual, and children aged 5-6 years old, whose life experience is shallow, are still only on the surface of things, and are very susceptible to hints. Most of their dance movements and the formation of their aesthetic sense come from the "demonstration". 2. Teachers should accurately, graphically and expressively perform the dance works so that the children will have a complete and clear impression of the content to be learned. This will arouse the desire to learn, so that practicing won't be boring, and will achieve a better teaching purpose. Demonstration should also be accompanied by verbal explanation, facing the children to do mirror demonstration. Such as children should reach out the left hand, the teacher should reach out the right hand, this method can stimulate the children's desire to learn and enthusiasm.
