How to improve the cultivation of students' dance image thinking in contemporary dance education

First, the cultivation of thinking in images in basic dance training.

The training of dance basic skills is the introduction of dance, which is a difficult stage to adhere to, and often you can't master the essentials of action because you don't understand. In this case, teachers can compare dance movements to concrete images, so as to deepen students' understanding of movements, better grasp the essentials of movements and solve the problems faced in the primary stage. For example, in ballet dance teaching, students usually have problems with their standing posture. Bad standing posture will affect the coordination of students' bodies, and will also have a great impact on the overall image and aesthetic feeling of ballet. At this point, teachers can compare actions to some common animal images or interesting things in life, and students can use this as a reference to deeply understand and remember each action. In order to make it easier for students to communicate with each other and improve the teaching effect, teachers should accumulate more actual images of dance movements in their daily lives. In addition, after learning the basic movements, you should also learn difficult movements, such as somersault, horizontal turn and big jump. In this process, students can also be guided by thinking in images. For example, students can name the translation gyro, so that students can integrate their feelings about concrete things in practice, thus improving the training effect. Of course, if you can't find something suitable for analogy, you can also let students develop their own thinking in images on the basis of understanding the connotation of action.

Second, the cultivation of thinking in images in narrative dance

Dance choreography teaching is a teaching work that needs comprehensive knowledge in many aspects, which is of great help to the construction of students' thinking in images in narrative dance teaching. In the practice of narrative dance, students should choose one or more characters and endow them with specific emotional tone, environmental atmosphere and personality characteristics, so that students can express various dance images through their own physical movements in such an environment, so as to deeply understand the characteristics and inner world of the images to be expressed. In the teaching process, in order to accurately locate the role, we can set the environment through props and so on. Combining stories with dance movements can greatly increase the richness of characters. Narrative dance teaching can not only improve students' dance performance ability, but also play an important role in cultivating dance choreographers. The theme of narrative dance teaching is to enrich the characters and expand the means of expression, which is necessary for dance creation. This can better express the emotions of the characters, and the dance works are more infectious. At the same time, it is also very conducive to the cultivation of students' thinking ability in images, and can help students really go deep into artistic creation in the process of practice.

Thirdly, the cultivation of thinking in images in the appreciation of graphic arts.

The cultivation of graphic art appreciation ability is helpful to the construction of image thinking. Graphic here refers to graphic arts such as photography and graphic design. Appreciating them can enrich and expand students' life materials, thus improving their thinking in images. Especially in photography, the composition, light and shadow and artistic conception of photography are similar to the thinking of dance images. Dance is also a visual art, and we can find inspiration from photography art, so that the choreography of dance has better picture effect and strong appeal. In addition, in daily life, some interesting images in advertising pictures and texts also have obvious effects on the cultivation of image thinking and creativity. Interesting visual images can achieve good publicity effect, which is of reference significance to the cultivation of image thinking in dance choreography teaching. Teachers can add some excellent photographic works and print advertising works in the teaching process, so that students can cultivate their own image thinking in the process of appreciation.

Fourthly, the cultivation of thinking in images in the appreciation of dance art.

The study of stage art appreciation is also an important way to improve the visual thinking ability of dance choreographers. The spatial artistic imagination of the stage is extremely necessary in the process of dance creation, which requires the cooperation between the characters and the stage art, thus deepening the artistic image. The creation of dance works is inseparable from divergent thinking. In many excellent works, the combination of dance and stage is needed to create an impressive image through continuous innovation. Therefore, we should add some appreciation courses in the teaching of dance choreography, so that students can learn some knowledge about stage art, and can also guide students to make stage art models and exchange appreciation between classes, so that students can quickly improve their thinking ability in images during their own production and careful observation.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion

Dance choreography teaching is a comprehensive work, which requires the accumulation of various knowledge, including stage art, dance skills, image thinking and so on. Therefore, in order to improve the teaching effect of dance choreography, teachers need to try various teaching methods and approaches. The application of thinking in images in dance choreography teaching is of great significance. In the daily teaching process, we need to constantly explore and find innovative methods to integrate thinking in images into the daily teaching process, so as to open students' thinking and make dance works more appealing.
