Abstract

The educational philosophy of dance education in comprehensive universities in the United States emphasizes cultivating students' comprehensive abilities so that they can succeed in different fields and make positive contributions to society. The construction and curriculum of dance disciplines in different universities have different characteristics, focusing on cultivating students' independent thinking and independent learning abilities, and emphasizing practical experience. For the cultivation of comprehensive talents in dance education in China's comprehensive universities today, how to change the concept of higher education in dance, how to set up professional courses, and how to solve the obstacles of teachers are important issues that contemporary dance educators are striving to explore.
