Second, inherit the national culture and provide comprehensive quality
"National folk dance is the mother of dance art", which is based on folk materials, easy to imitate and inherit, vivid and vivid, and can fully stimulate children's learning enthusiasm. In the "China National Folk Dance Grade Examination Textbook", not only the dances of five ethnic groups, including Han, Tibetan, Mongolian, Uygur and Korean, but also the dances of more than 4 ethnic groups, including Hani.
The China National Folk Dance Grade Examination Textbook guides children to learn national folk dance step by step, constantly improve their dance expressive force and cultural accomplishment, enhance their artistic attainments, cultivate their national complex, and make children's understanding of national culture permeate the whole dance learning.
In the process of learning China folk dances, children will not only dance with the music, but also be exposed to the national music, costumes, customs and legends behind these dances. Let children have a more comprehensive and complete understanding of the traditional culture and art of all ethnic groups, so as to comprehensively improve their comprehensive quality.
Third, cultivate seven abilities
1. Observation and imitation ability-such as the first-class dance "Little Bear Dance" and the second-class dance "Little Fish Spitting Bubbles"
Observation and imitation ability is the basic form of dance, and it is also an important way for children to feel and form their consciousness. In the process of learning folk dance, it is to repeatedly exercise and improve children's observation and imitation ability and stimulate their artistic expression.
2. Improvisation ability —— For example, the first-class dance group "Watermelon", "Ball Exercise" and "Little Snail" and the editorial board of the grading examination textbook are the most authoritative experts in ethnic and folk dance in China today. No matter the arrangement of the combination or the selection of materials, they are very novel dances with both national characteristics and a sense of the times. Children can master a small dance after 3-4 class hours of study, and they can perform it at home or at school!
3. Thinking ability-such as Little Costume Designer
In the process of learning China folk dances, whether it is the memory of dance movements, rhythms, formations and lyrics, or the combination and understanding of dance vocabulary and cultural background, it is the cultivation and exercise of their thinking ability.

the ability to innovate is the most important and valuable ability of people. How much a child will achieve in the future depends on his creative ability. Our textbooks also give students plenty of creative space in setting, and train them to give full play to their intelligence.
5. Independent ability —— Props used in Kicking Shuttlecock, the fourth dance class
Experts generally believe that at present, parents arrange too much for their children in family education, and the awareness of cultivating children's independence is seriously insufficient, which is extremely unfavorable for children's future development. Therefore, prop dances are specially set in the "China National Folk Dance Grade Examination Textbook", and children need to prepare the required props before class, which are all latent. Combining children's interests, learning dance can effectively cultivate their independent ability.
6. Ability of cooperation and communication —— For example, the fourth-level dance "Shearing Wool"
Learning China folk dances creates conditions for children to communicate with their partners. In our dances, there are two-person cooperation, formation change, overall modeling, etc. In the process of completing these dances, children need to cooperate, communicate and cooperate with their small partners, and they need constant communication and mutual respect, which are imperceptibly cultivating children's cooperative communication ability and letting them learn to be considerate. And children are mastering some social communication skills.
7, comprehensive expansion ability-such as
the study of China folk dance is a comprehensive training to cultivate children's ability to feel, remember, imagine and express beauty, which can improve children's interest and ability to feel and express beauty, and exercise children's reaction and coordination ability. We hope that through continuous dance learning, children's comprehensive ability can be continuously improved, and their potential can be continuously tapped.
