Strategies for cultivating students’ performance skills in classical dance teaching from the perspective of aesthetic education

Abstract

The management of aesthetic education in higher education is one of the major hot issues to be explored and discussed in the reform of China’s basic education curriculum system under the new situation. According to the Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving the Management of Aesthetic Education in Higher Education under the New Situation issued by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Office of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, the aim is to improve students’ cultural and aesthetic talents as well as the quality of humanities and sciences, and further develop the essence of Chinese aesthetic education. The aim is to further develop the essence of Chinese aesthetic education, cultivate the elements with aesthetics, and permeate the whole process of cultivating talents in higher education in China. In the context of aesthetic education, classical dance is a combination of thought and emotion, and is not only highly artistic and ornamental, but also rich in ideological content. As a unique form of dance expression for a Chinese nation, classical Chinese dance plays occupy a key position. With the gradual deepening of quality education in schools, the educational aspect of Chinese classical dance will also come to the fore. In this paper, we analyse and discuss the comprehensive quality of performance required in classical dance and the new problems facing the education of classical dance in our school.
