Dance is an art form that originates from life and is higher than life. Dance presents meaningful or valuable events in life on stage through specific arrangements, costumes, and props. Dance originated from the primitive Nuo opera and was a form of celebration in primitive society. After thousands of years of development, dance forms have already acquired complete forms and cultural connotations. And China's unique folk dance culture also exudes unique charm. In addition to absorbing the essence of foreign culture, it is equally important to inherit traditional folk dance in dance teaching in universities. Therefore, it is particularly important to incorporate traditional culture into dance teaching through what methods and teaching methods are used.Dance is created by the working people in their long-term life practice, containing the wisdom of the working people. In dance teaching, it is not only necessary to impart dance skills, but also to enable students to understand the traditional culture of the nation. Dance is one of the forms of traditional cultural expression, with distinct regional and strong ethnic characteristics. Dance embodies special cultural phenomena from content to form. At the same time, traditional culture is a reflection of life at a specific time, reflecting cultural reconstruction. In dance teaching, incorporating traditional culture is beneficial for students to understand traditional culture and experience the essence of dance.
