Introduction: The essential characteristics of the unique fitness of sport dancing are composed of the athletes' skill, quality, and physical characteristics. All are directly affected by proper abdominal core strength training. Kick strength is an important variable for controlled balance in lower limb elevation. It is produced by the combined action of the pelvic girdle and thigh muscle groups, beginning at the abdominal core. Objective: This paper explores the effect of abdominal core strength training on the quality of kicking movement in dance sports work. Methods: Forty-six college students majoring in sport dance were randomly selected as volunteers for the research. Randomly divided into control and experimental group, they participated in the experiment for four weeks. The experimental group added a specific strength exercise for the abdominal core at each class, while the control group followed only with the routine exercises. Several indicators of the athletes were tested before and after the end of the experiment. The collected variables went through the statistical methodology and data analysis. Results: The experimental group members showed significantly higher kicks than those of the control group (P<0.05). The balance and stability scores in the experimental group were also significantly higher (P<0.05). Conclusion: Abdominal core strength training significantly affects the quality of lower limb lifting movements in sports dance practitioners and significantly affects the overall performance improvement of athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

“…In the 18 studies included in this scoping review (not including systematic reviews or the meta-analysis), all the dance interventions were claimed to be effectively used as a vehicle for SEL in the classroom (see Appendix A, Table 1). Outcomes included: increased sense of belonging (Kreutzman et al, 2018); increased social skills (Masadis et al, 2019); psychological engagement and socioemotional functioning (Archbell et al, 2019); violence prevention (Koshland et al, 2004); improved emotional responses and neurohormone modulation (Jeong et al, 2005); increased creative thinking and problem-solving responses (Lai Keun & Hunt, 2006); increased self-esteem and well-being (Connolly et al, 2011); reduced internalizing problems, and increased self-trust (Duberg et al, 2016); social engagement (Nelson et al, 2017); social competence (Lobo & Winsler, 2006); dance as a teaching tool (Sharma et al, 2020); social-emotional development (Rajan & Aker, 2020); and accelerated learning of skills via dance (Golding et al, 2016).…”

“…The evidence of effectiveness of SEL-based dance interventions on psychosocial functioning is most robust in younger children, as 14 of the studies focused on children in K-6, both males and females (Archbell et al, 2019;Burkhardt et al, 2012;Golding et al, 2016, Greaves et al, 2016Koshland et al, 2004;Kreutzmann et al, 2018;Lai Keun & Hunt, 2006;Lobo & Winsler, 2006;Masadis et al, 2019;Nelson et al, 2017;Rajan & Ake, 2020;Sharma et al, 2020;Stueck et al, 2013. This may be due to the fact that younger children are learning the limits of acceptable behaviour as they develop more complex relationships with peers and adults over the course of their K-6 education.…”

“…Dance has been used with efficacy "as a kinesthetic tool for accelerating learning whilst assisting educators to recognize movement methods as potent delivery strategies" (Golding et al, 2016, p. 239). Furthermore, according to Sharma et al (2020), "dance-based teaching can potentially ignite cognitive learning in children, since physical movement deepens neural connections" (p. 30). Thus, more educators are becoming increasingly aware of using dance in a cross-curricular fashion, not just teach dance as a subject on its own.…”

Biodanza and Other Dance Forms as a Vehicle for Social-Emotional-Learning in Schools: A Scoping Review

In this scoping review, the literature on the relationship between dance and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) was consolidated. Research of various forms of dance on psychosocial outcomes among K-6 populations included: increased sense of belonging, violence prevention, and increased creative thinking and problem-solving responses. The dance form, Biodanza, in particular, may be useful in engaging students in the active practice of social skills, appropriate use of body language, self-regulation, self-awareness, and boundaries. We suggest that using dance as a tool for SEL in the classrooms may contribute to improved student mental health and to more inclusive schools.

“…When we consider that history, we cannot help but think of Mr. Ouyang Yuqian. He actively advocated for dancers learning the fundamental skills of Chinese opera, as well as studying and distinguishing Chinese classical dance from basic opera dance, and this suggestion was taken into consideration and implemented in the curriculum of the first dance school in New China [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Chinese classical dance is cut into the inner verve from a grasp of external form in dance instruction, and the aesthetic fashion and artistic norms of classical dance are established with historical depth. The “professional specificity” of characters and the “language description” of plots are eliminated in Chinese classical dance creation, highlighting the contemporary spirit of classical dance creation. Chinese classical dance was born during the early years of the People’s Republic of China. The term “classical dance” did not refer to all Chinese classical dances at the time; rather, it referred to a dance form that embodied China’s national spirit and had a classical cultural heritage based on Chinese traditional dance. The average frequency of step-over was 0.9, which was higher than the average rate of basic turnover of 0.75 and step-by-step turnover of 0.5, according to the results of the SPSS19.0 analysis. As a result, except for a few points with loud noise, it can be concluded that stepping over is an effective feature. The recognition model of the somersault posture of classical dance is studied in this paper, a database for real-time acquisition of three-dimensional data of human motion is established, and the Google model of human body characteristics is obtained based on feature plane matching of human body posture, all using motion capture technology and few-shot learning. The above data has good reference and application value for improving teachers’ teaching level and arousing students’ learning enthusiasm in the dance teaching process when applied to posture teaching and analysis. The captured data can convert human motion in real three-dimensional space into data in virtual three-dimensional space. Motion capture technology converts human motion information into a technology that can be recognized by computers.
