The value, significance, and role of sports dance

The national standard social dance mainly includes two major groups of Modern Dance and Latin Dance, of which Modern Dance mainly includes Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep, etc.; Latin Dance mainly includes Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba, Cowboy and Bullfighting Dance. And, each dance has its own characteristics, for example, modern dance is dignified, noble and elegant; rumba, soft and lyrical; Latin dance is passionate and full of exotic flavors; cha-cha-cha, gray harmonic fancy; samba, exuberant and passionate. Elementary school students can cultivate their ability to think independently and analyze and solve problems while learning and practicing sports dance, and at the same time can improve the cultural cultivation of elementary school students.

Beneficial to students from a young age for the inculcation of the beauty of music, movement, physical beauty and dress, etc., but also to cultivate elementary school students dance expression, sense of rhythm and coordination.

Through sports dance college students not only cultivate a cheerful personality, open up the mind, but also develop their social skills, it is a kind of self and social adaptability exercise.
Three, our school to carry out the main problems of sports dance
1. Teaching content selection does not meet the actual situation of primary school students
The teachers of sports dance in our school in the selection of teaching content is more difficult, such as the Latin dance group of cha-cha-cha, although the cha-cha-cha is the primary school students prefer a kind of dance, but it is more difficult to learn and most of the students who chose the course have not much experience in this area. Most of the students who choose this course do not have any foundation in this area, affected by their own factors and the difficulty of the cha-cha itself, the teaching effect is difficult to achieve the initial requirements of the teacher, so the students gradually negative treatment, only to pass, for the standardization of movement and posture do not care about, which over time not only affects the teaching and learning, but also reduces the student's interest in learning and the enthusiasm of the exercise.
2. The proportion of male and female students who take physical education dance is seriously disproportionate
Physical education dance is different from other sports, it is necessary to use the cooperation of peers in order to complete the perfect movement of a special sport, and for the combination of a man and a woman must be. But the current elective courses, the proportion of girls is much higher than boys, resulting in many girls do not have a male partner, can only be carried out girls and girls holding hands, however, some movements are required to male step with female step, which two girls can not be experienced, which to a certain extent will affect the students' interest in learning sports dance and enthusiasm.
3. The curriculum does not have supporting materials
There is no knowledge of sports dance in the elementary school physical education textbooks, let alone professional teaching materials, students can only rely on the teacher's explanations and demonstrations of sports dance in the classroom, and the students in such a limited amount of time can not learn a lot, which greatly affects the enthusiasm of the students to learn.
4. Fewer hours of classes
The curriculum of physical dance in our school mainly consists of one class a week, and there are only 24-32 hours of classes in a semester, which is usually only one semester. However, there are many kinds of sports dance, and each kind of dance has its unique characteristics and charms, and the content is also very rich. Even if each teacher teaches only one kind of dance in a semester, it is impossible to teach all of them, not to mention that school sports dance elective course does not teach only one kind of dance, in such a limited time, it can only be said that the students have just got into the door of sports dance, and they can only simply master some basic movements and simple routines, and have not carried out a profound and comprehensive study, which to a certain extent, has dealt a blow to the students' love for sports dance. 5. The evaluation of teaching is not scientific and comprehensive
Currently, our school mainly adopts the final evaluation method for the students to learn sports dance, through the final examination and the score to locate the good or bad learning situation, that is, when the examination is a good dance, the score is naturally very high, for the students to practice and not put into the final evaluation, which is too single evaluation is not conducive to the development of the students.
6. Insufficient number of teachers, the business level needs to be improved
The fact is that primary school students are generally very fond of physical education dance course, but the professional teachers who teach physical education dance are very few, and there are no male teachers, the ratio of teachers to students is large. The effect of one teacher with one class at a time can be imagined, which greatly affects the quality of teaching and frustrates students' interest and motivation.
Four, Nanjing Sports Institute of sports dance development countermeasures
1. Attention to the normative nature of sports dance
Sports dance is different from other sports, it has a strict standard, and in the teaching of the time must be based on the standards of sports dance to design the curriculum teaching, at the same time, to highlight the process of teaching the health first, people-oriented education. At the same time, it is necessary to emphasize health first and people-oriented education in the teaching process. At the same time, in the "Teaching Guidelines for Physical Education Courses in National Colleges and Universities", the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China requires the teachers to combine the sports standards of physical education dance and the students' own characteristics to make the physical education teaching content suitable for primary school students. The teaching content should reflect the fitness and acquisition of sports skills mainly, and at the same time should reflect the entertainment, scientific, practical and forward-looking and so on.
2. Preparation of teaching materials suitable for school sports dance courses
Schools generally carry out sports dance class time is very small, and the students have no sports dance foundation, therefore, the teaching content is generally based on the basic movements of the teaching of the main, but also the need to prepare some suitable for primary students to learn the teaching materials, teaching materials can be designed to analyze some of the basic theories and technical movements, so that students can synchronize development. The content of the textbook can be designed with some shallow basic theories and technical movements so that the students can synchronize their development.
3. Reform the teaching evaluation system
The so-called teaching evaluation is the value judgment of the teaching process and teaching results through the performance of students, and through the information obtained from this evaluation to motivate, coordinate, control and manage the whole teaching effect. But at present, the teaching evaluation of elementary school students' physical education and dance courses is single, mainly based on the final examination as the main single evaluation content, which can't comprehensively evaluate the students' learning achievements, it should be reformed to reform this single evaluation mode, and want to develop the direction of multi-dimensional evaluation, optimize the examination method through different forms of examination content, and make comprehensive evaluation of the examination results, so that we can really realize the function of teaching evaluation.
4. Strengthen the construction of physical education dance teachers
At present, the lack of physical education dance teachers is a common phenomenon, most of the physical education dance teachers are from the gymnastics, aerobics and artistic gymnastics transition to the teaching and dance level is limited, so to improve the construction of physical education dance teachers and teachers has been imminent. Specifically through the expansion of physical education dance faculty at the same time, for some physical education dance teachers to further study, specialize in teaching methods, improve teaching effectiveness, while improving their own theoretical research level to create conditions. In addition, physical dance teachers should understand the physical and mental development of students, to teach according to the material, differentiated treatment, to improve the teaching effect, so that each student can enjoy physical dance. In addition, the school can also with teaching observation, academic exchanges and seminars, etc., so that our physical education dance teachers to absorb the strengths of others, to make up for their own shortcomings, and ultimately be able to improve their own level of business, to master the advanced physical education dance teaching methods and development trends.
5. Pay attention to the development and improvement of extracurricular sports dance
Physical education classroom in the face of physical education dance can only master some of the technical movements, the real fitness to play physical education dance, benefit the heart effect is still mainly embodied in the student's after-school activities. After class can be carried out according to the characteristics of the students, dance conference, dance party and other forms of sports dance performances and competitions to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of students, and to play a dynamic role of teachers and students, to give students the opportunity to practice sports dance and venues, but also for the students to exchange technology, the exchange of dance left a space, but also stimulate the students' interest in learning, so that the students in the competition to experience the joy of success, and ultimately to allow students to participate in the sports dance classroom on their own to learn some of the technical movements. Ultimately, this will enable students to participate in the sport dance movement on their own.
V. Suggestions
In the teaching process should be gradual, focusing on form, posture training, strengthen coordination and sensitivity exercises, cultivate a sense of rhythm so that the organic integration of music and dance, so that students can master the method of self-indulgent way to exercise the body, laying the foundation for lifelong sports. Teachers should strengthen the teaching research, using a variety of effective teaching methods, to improve the quality and effectiveness of the teaching of physical education dance courses.
