Balancing Academic and Artistic Merit:Equity Concerns for Dance Students in China’s College Entrance System

This study explores the effects of recent changes in China’s dance college admissions,which now equally weigh academic and professional performance.While the policy aims to create fairer admissions,it presents challenges for students from specialized dance programs(keban),who may struggle with academic demands.In contrast,academically strong students with limited dance training may gain an advantage.The research highlights the policy’s mixed impact and proposes flexible admissions strategies,such as conditional offers and ongoing academic support,to better accommodate students with diverse abilities.The study underscores the importance of refining these policies to ensure greater equity and cultural diversity in dance education.

The Importance of Breathing Training in Folk Dance Teaching

The importance of breathing training in dance teaching is reflected in the two aspects of enhancing the quality of dance movements and sublimating the connotation of dance movements.For example,high-quality breathing can help performers complete the dance movements and improve the coordination of the movements;at the same time,the unique body rhythm formed by breathing can strengthen the visual effect of the performance and convey its spirit and soul to the audience.This requires folk dance teachers to carry out relevant training and teaching activities based on the categories and skills of dance breathing,such as changing students’ideological cognition,developing periodic breathing training courses,providing personalized guidance to students,and allowing students to adjust their learning and practice methods in the evaluation.

The Dance-Ephemeral:With Michel Serres

Short,momentary,temporary,transient,precarious,and labile are adjectives that the current post-pandemic,ecological,climatic,war,political,economic,and social contingencies have accustomed us to employ almost compulsively and indiscriminately by now,and that,beyond everything,are synonyms inter-implicit with and in the ephemerality,which deserves reconsideration in its literalness as epìheméra(for a day),that can take place through a sort of its“double”,not quite mainstream but nonetheless suggestive and perhaps even effective,such as the artistic one of dance.Therefore,it is worth pausing to try and see which streaks/implications of the ephemerality itself the dance-ephemeral conveys and/or produces:the neuralgic concretions that the latter seems to me to involve and permeate,in a perspective of re-cognition/re-discovery/awareness,are time,space and the body,evidently inter-implicated.

Dance Anthropology 与 Ethnochoreology

作为新兴的舞蹈研究领域,在世界范围内方兴未艾的"民族舞蹈学"(Ethnochoreology)和"舞蹈人类学"(Dance Anthropology)彼此有交叉也容易有概念和认识上的混淆。这两门学科都是从美国率先发展起来的,这亦反映出这些学问在创立之初追随音乐学领域建立起来的"非欧洲主流舞蹈"的研究视角和取向。尽管彼此交叉,但我们还是看到了在音乐学领域中这两门学问彼此交融而又各自成型的理论诉求。这样两种学问彼此交叉的现象源于它们在研究对象上的接近和研究方法上的趋同,情况较为复杂。对于中国舞蹈文化的实践而言,这些新兴的学科都给我们带来崭新的研究视角和方法,对这些学科概念的认识和梳理,会让我们更容易地看清这些学科的内涵及其差异。

Children's physical activity levels and psychological correlates in interactive dance versus aerobic dance

Purpose： The purpose of this study was to compare children＇s physical activity （PA） levels, self-efficacy, and enjoyment when experiencing dance-exergaming （Dance Dance Revolution, DDR） and aerobic dance in physical education. Methods： A total of 53 urban fourth grade children were divided into two groups, with one group playing DDR and the other group engaged in aerobic dance. After 15 min, the groups switched activities and continued their respective activities for another 15 min. Participants wore NL- 1000 pedometers in four consecutive sessions, and responded to a questionnaire measuring their self-efficacy and enjoyment toward two dance activities at the end of the first session. Results： Children spent more moderate-to-vigorous PA （MVPA） time （p 〈 0.01, 72 = 0.49） in aerobic dance than DDR. Additionally, children reported significantly higher self-efficacy （p 〈 0.001, 72 = 0.28） and enjoyment （p 〈 0.01, η2 = 0.18） in DDR than in aerobic dance. Conclusion： Health care professionals and educators may not replace the traditional PAs and sports with interactive video games, but may use exergaming as an excellent addition to promote PA.
