As higher film, television, and drama education continues to pursue innovation and breakthroughs, the traditional teaching model centered on dialogue and performance is gradually showing its limitations and is unable to meet the demands of contemporary film and television drama for comprehensive artistic expression. As a creative thinking model that uses the body as a medium and centers around emotion and narrative, its introduction into film and television drama education can help students build a more comprehensive artistic cognitive system and enhance the visual expressiveness and emotional delivery of their works. Based on the practical needs of higher film, television, and drama education, this paper analyzes the core characteristics of dance choreographic thinking, explores feasible approaches for its introduction, and identifies specific implementation strategies based on practical teaching practices. This study aims to provide new insights for curriculum reform in film and television drama education and help cultivate interdisciplinary talents with artistic literacy. The study finds that through curriculum integration, thinking training, and practical guidance, dance choreographic thinking can effectively address the shortcomings of traditional teaching, promote the evolution of film and television drama works from "linguistic narrative" to "multidimensional narrative," and cultivate more innovative practitioners for the industry.
