National traditional sports and national dance are important components of national traditional culture. China is a multi-ethnic country. In the long process of development, various nationalities have formed their unique national sports and ethnic dances. In the contemporary era of cultural diversification, promoting the healthy development of China’s national traditional sports and national dance is of great significance for advancing China’s building of a cultural power. This paper first briefly explains the prominent issues in the current development of the two, then analyzes the similarities between the two, and finally puts forward a feasible strategy for the future development of the two with a mutual thinking.
