Action Research on the Effect of Improvisational Dance on Improving the Dance Creativity of Preschool Students

Open access
As a dance form with free expression and creative exploration at its core, Improvisational Dance is characterized by openness, situational and flexible, and adaptability. This study adopted the action research method to conduct an 8-week teaching practice. Through case analysis, classroom observation and teaching reflection, the study found that Improvisational Dance can effectively improve the physical expression, sense of rhythm, creative ability and cooperative choreography awareness of preschool education students, while also provide an effective teaching solution for the problem of students finding it difficult to create in children's dance creation. While affirming the effectiveness of Improvisational Dance teaching, this study also proposed directions for subsequent research, hoping to promote the deepening and systematic development of Improvisational Dance in the field of Dance Art.
