On Problems of College Campus Dance Creation

Abstract

To fully implement Chinese education policy and promote college students’ comprehensive development, the Ministry of Education holds the national college students’ art performance activities once every three years, in order to exhibit the achievement of art education of higher institutions. In all previous national level (province) of college students’ art performance activities, a batch of excellent works of dance have emerged, but at the same time some problems also appear. For example, limited campus creative subjects, cliched dance themes, unclear dance theme, lack of logic in dance structure, and so on. According to the Ministry of Education requirements of the college students’ art performance activities and problems in the performance of dance, we put forward some suggestions to solve the key problems in campus dance creation. Dance education has become an important part of aesthetic education in higher schools, and acted as a display of school art education achievement and one of the important ways of campus culture. This is decided by high attachment to art education in colleges and universities by Ministry of Education and characteristics of dance art. Since the first college students’ art performance activities in 2005 to the third national college students’ art performance activities in 2012, the college students dance performance works has been transformed from imitation to creation, among which national dance accounted for more than 60%, all kinds of subjects of modern dance, classical dance accounted for 30%, and works reflecting the campus dance less than 10%. So on the dance symposium after college students’ art performance ach year, dancer judges and the general dance teachers give their sigh for it. According to the survey, many colleges and universities dance teachers are racking their minds to create campus dance, but ultimately they fail to enter the finals. The main reason is that they fail to seize the key points of the college campus dance creation.
