Influencing Factors and Countermeasures of Dancesport Teaching in Colleges and Universities
Under the Healthy China 2030 strategy, the integration of sport and education, and the five aspects of education (moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education), college Dancesport has shifted from whether to offer it to how to improve quality and efficiency. Based on its four functions in physical fitness, mental health, aesthetics, and socialization, this paper analyzes favorable conditions for offering Dancesport in colleges, diagnoses five contemporary constraints (curriculum evaluation, faculty, class hours and credits, stratified teaching, digital competence), and proposes five countermeasures. Recent experiments show that Dancesport electives can improve students' physical self-esteem, motivation, and mental health, while process- and value-added evaluation raise engagement. Guided by scientific evaluation and in-class/out-of-class integration, Dancesport can become a key carrier for high-quality college physical education. The paper offers a practical framework for ordinary colleges and highlights where institutional evidence should be added to localize the effects.
