Transforming dance education in China: enhancing sustainable development and cultural preservation

Abstract

Dance education in China is a vital medium for sustainable development and cultural preservation. This review explores the historical evolution of dance education, its role in maintaining cultural heritage, and its contribution to educational significance and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By integrating innovative technologies such as Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), dance education in China has modernized, enhancing student engagement and creativity. Additionally, this paper examines the impact of dance education on social competence, well-being, and community development, emphasizing its transformative role in promoting inclusivity and cultural sustainability. The findings highlight the necessity for modern pedagogical approaches and sustainable practices to ensure the continued relevance and effectiveness of dance education in China. A balanced approach that preserves traditional dance forms while incorporating contemporary elements and technologies is essential for sustaining China’s rich cultural heritage in a rapidly changing world.
