Cultivation of Body Awareness and Movement Expression Ability in Dance Education

Abstract

With the continuous development of dance education, the cultivation of body awareness and movement expression ability has become a key factor in enhancing dance skills and artistic presentation. Body awareness encompasses not only the perception of one's own body but also includes aspects such as spatial orientation, movement coordination, and balance control, which directly impact the precision and expressiveness of dance movements. Based on the theoretical framework of body awareness, this paper explores the interactive relationship between body awareness and dance movement expression, and it proposes a systematic cultivation pathway. Through interdisciplinary integration, incorporating theoretical support from fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and biomechanics, this study analyzes how to enhance dancers' perceptual ability, muscle control, and emotional expression capacity via scientific training methods. Furthermore, the article discusses teaching methods in dance education based on body awareness, training approaches for movement expression ability, and innovative paths for evaluation systems. Through this series of investigations, this research aims to provide theoretical guidance and practical support for dance education, thereby promoting its innovation and development.
