　　1. The Integration of Dance and Culture Education
　　Taking Korean dance as an example： in the view of the major of dance， Korean dance can be divided into three types： Chinese Korean dance， North Korean dance and South Korean dance； while in the view of the nature of dance itself， it can be divided into traditional part， creative part， and the part that students can design their own dance. In addition， the percussion should also be an indispensable part of Korean dance. Each folk dance has its unique musical instrument used to accompany， the change of the rhythm is the most prominent factor to show the characteristic of each dance. The rhythm and the style of the dance movements are directly connected. In order to improve the cultural awareness of the dancers and enrich their experience， teacher should let students focus on the cultural background behind the dance instead of the dance movements itself.
　　2. The Combination of Inheritance and Development
　　As the foundation for innovation and social development， the traditional part should be perfectly preserved. Students will find helpful in learning traditional and creative dance after they have laid a good foundation. This also applies to other types of folk dance. For instance， the self-creation of Northeast Yangko should be conducted after the students have consolidated the traditional part they have learned， so that the original style of the dance will not be lost. Besides，， we should continue to develop the traditional part after inheriting， instead of remain stagnant. The dance should be adapted to the modern society and be made as a factor to promote the development of social civilization. Students should be given the opportunities to recreate the dance by themselves. Moreover， in view of the combination of inheritance and development， we should also ensure the exchange of information with local people. Folk dance comes from all parts of the country， so it is necessary to conduct folk art collection from all over the country and invite local experts to school to impart knowledge to the teachers and students.
