Abstract: Dance teaching is a part of art education, through cultivating primary school students' interest in dance, practicing dance by using varied forms, making good use of body language for error correction, and combining teaching with music classroom. ... Dance Classroom The elementary school stage is an important stage in the physiological and psychological development of a person's life, and in this period of time, we attach importance to letting elementary school students participate in a suitable variety of dance education and teaching activities, which not only promotes the continuous growth and development of the children's organism, but also cultivates their temperament and character. As an elementary school music teacher, in addition to good music classes, but also more research and music closely related to dance teaching, for primary school students strong desire to express, plasticity, poor understanding, poor persistence of the characteristics of the shallow into the deep, step by step, dance teaching, knowledge and skills and the cultivation of aesthetic feelings throughout the teaching. First, cultivate students' interest in dance For elementary school students who have not received professional dance training, the foundation of the situation is poor, in the teaching should often let the students watch the dance audio-visual materials, or personally demonstrated a beautiful stretch of the dance combination to the students to see, the most from the dance movements and performances of the emotions to infect the children to stimulate their interest in learning to dance, desire to improve their motivation to learn to dance, and at the same time, set up a good example of learning for their next step of study. It sets up a good example for them to learn. In the classroom teaching, according to the characteristics of the dance, students can be described and inspired by the sensibility to mobilize the emotions, and then teach the movements afterwards. For example, when teaching the Mongolian dance, first describe to the students a beautiful picture: in front of the endless grasslands, grasslands with white sheep, running horses, in the blue sky, eagles soaring on the wings ...... through the description of the inspiration of the students: if you are standing in this grassland to breathe the fresh air, your mood will be how, through the inspiration, mobilize students about the grassland style. Inspiration, mobilize students about the impression of the grassland style, open the wings of imagination, so that students can understand the mood of the dance, naturally straighten the back, straighten up the chest, the line of sight also put far away. Second, the use of multi-variable means of dance teaching 1. Practice method The practice method is a basic method for children to participate in dance activities. The form of practice is not a single repeated action, from the number of participants, generally can be used in groups, roles, alone and other practice methods. From the learning of teaching materials, basic movements, difficult movements, segmented and complete string rows and other practice methods can be used. 2. Observation and imitation method The use of this method can maintain the integrity of the dance movement, focus the attention of primary school students, the learning process can continue to improve their observation, memory and dance performance ability. When using this method, the teacher's movements should be accurate, infectious, preferably mirror demonstration, but also have a concise language tips to guide the students to learn the rules of observation and imitation. 3. Game method Using games, it is easy to increase the interest of primary school students in learning and keep their enthusiasm in learning dance, thus improving the efficiency of dance learning. For example, when learning Xinjiang dance, the common hand position is more, when reviewing this dance hand position, the game "Fruit Tree" can be used: the mention of the skirt position, double bracket position, bracket position and other nine hand position name written in a variety of brightly colored, lovely image of the fruit card, these "fruits" hanging in the "tree", after the game starts, the game will be played on the "tree". ", the game began, let the students take down after making the card on the hand position. 4. Language tips password method We teach in the dance, to provide students with more than rhythm, there should be more things, such as: feelings, flavor, language tips, passwords, can accelerate the dance content, emotional understanding, mastery of the action, and improve the interest in learning. For example: in the teaching of small step by palm, should be a little under the side of the waist, but the students' eyes do not know where to fall, so that people feel that there is no God, I will use the "beauty mirror" as a metaphor, the results of the students immediately understand the spirit of the understanding. The use of passwords should pay attention to concise, image, should not be too much, to strengthen the music and action with. Third, make full use of body language to improve the teaching effect Dance teaching is different from the static conditions of classroom teaching, students, whether they are completing the basic practice of dance, or a combination of exercises, the teacher has to carefully observe and timely detection of student's faulty movements, if in the process of teaching, the teacher can be good at gestures, eyes, posture and other body language, implying and correcting the students' faulty movements, will receive good teaching results, will also help beginners to learn the language of dance. If teachers are good at using gestures, eyes and other body language to suggest and correct students' wrong movements, it will have a good teaching effect and help beginners build up confidence in learning dance. Especially when practicing dance combinations, the proper use of body language will get twice the result with half the effort. Teachers in the guidance of students to do exercises, if you master the gestures, eyes, posture and other body language, will enable students to more intuitive image to receive a large amount of information, to improve the speed of students to grasp the essentials of various types of dance. Not only that, it can also make the students' visual and auditory senses constantly change the concentration point and get fresh stimulation, which is conducive to reducing their visual fatigue and psychological fatigue, so as to maintain a high degree of concentration, and devote themselves to dance learning with abundant energy. As the output of knowledge and skills in dance teaching, teachers should not only be good at using body language scientifically, but also be good at observing students' body language in learning, analyzing and identifying students' attitudes towards learning dance, such as finding that students' frowns are tightly locked, which indicates a lack of interest in and confidence in the movements practiced; their brows are stretched to indicate that they are full of confidence, and their lips show a smile, which indicates that they are interested in the contents of what they are learning; they look around and look down, which indicates absent-mindedness, rather than language, which indicates that their attention is distracted. Indicates absent-mindedness, and non-verbal body is not mysterious, as long as the teacher mastered, in turn, with their own good body language as the improvement of teaching methods, to improve the effectiveness of teaching is of great help. Fourth, combined with music teaching, penetration of dance teaching In music teaching, you can often learn the song, listen to the music, after the analysis of the music image, dance teaching. The form is also varied. For example, song performance, rhythmic teaching, group dance, performance dance and so on. In addition, the dance can also be purposeful and planned to cultivate the development of children's dance movement creation and improvisation ability, to improve their imagination, memory, creativity and performance ability of dance.
