This study aims to explore the specific application of mind-body training methods in dance instruction. Through a systematic approach, the training is designed to help dancers enhance flexibility, strength, and coordination, while simultaneously improving their emotional expression and mental resilience. By validating these methods in practice, the study hopes to offer a fresh perspective and approach to dance education, enabling performers to express themselves more freely on stage and elevate the overall quality of their performances. Furthermore, the research will focus on how to integrate mind-body training into regular teaching routines, establishing it as an indispensable part of dance education.
