1 Characteristics and activity types of popular dance

Popular dance includes all kinds of popular dance types that are popular all over the world, participated by the public and loved by people. Its extension is very wide, including all community dances and all cultural phenomena including dance factors in society. Popular dance is a dance cultural phenomenon formed by people from all walks of life. It emerged and developed in the group, based on human labor and life, communicated and infected with each other in the group, and became an artistic expression recognized by the whole group. It has the following characteristics: the universality of group participation, the self-entertainment of aesthetic activities and the fashion of group participation [1]. According to the characteristics of popular dance, it can be summarized into the following types:

1. 1 Self-entertainment activities Self-entertainment activities are the most basic content of mass dance activities. It is a popular dance activity that people directly participate in in order to enrich their amateur cultural life, adjust their spirits and obtain aesthetic pleasure after work and labor. Social dance and fitness dance are the representatives of this kind of activities. In rural areas, the self-entertainment activities of mass dance are often intertwined with custom activities. On holidays, thousands of villagers voluntarily join the dance ranks of dragon lantern dancing, lion playing, roller boating, yangko dancing and stilt walking, and entertain themselves.

1.2 Custom activities The so-called custom activities mean that people hold activities at a certain time and time according to certain customs. In traditional custom activities, religious activities occupy a certain position, which interpenetrates with folk activities and develops together. Therefore, the custom activities of mass dance can be divided into two categories, namely, folk activities and religious activities.

1.3 Performance activities Performance activities refer to the dance and performance activities that non-professional dancers engage in in in their spare time. Xu often appears in mass dance activities.

Many activists have more interests and hobbies in dance than ordinary activists, so they participate in mass dance activities not only to meet their own entertainment needs, but also to master more performance talents through activities, so as to achieve the purpose of self-realization.

2 the education of popular dance

2. 1 Teachers of mass dance activities build mass dance activities. The teaching staff consists of professional mass dance team and amateur mass dance backbone team. They have their own characteristics and complement each other. Pop dance is a big undertaking, and it has a huge theme. Faced with this great social demand, it is difficult to accomplish this task only by relying on professional teams or amateur backbone teams. Only by organically combining the two can the best effect be achieved.

In the aspect of mass dance professional team, we should first continuously improve its organizational and management ability to ensure the smooth and orderly progress of mass dance activities; Secondly, we should constantly improve our cultural knowledge and professional knowledge; Finally, better improve the quality of the amateur backbone team, and constantly develop and expand this team on the existing basis, so that it can play its own advantages in the whole mass dance activities and promote the development of mass dance activities.

As for the amateur backbone team of mass dance, we should constantly develop and expand this team, let it play its own advantages in the whole mass dance activities and promote the development of mass dance activities.

2.2 Schools should become the base for developing mass dance activities. Speaking of popular dance activities, people may first think of popular dance activities in society, but in fact, schools are also an important position of popular dance activities, and school education plays a decisive role in the prosperity and development of popular dance activities. On the one hand, as the most important talent training base, the school itself has the responsibility to train popular dance talents. School is a place where knowledge groups gather, and the quality of school life can be said to be a microcosm of the quality of social life to some extent. On the other hand, there is an interactive relationship between schools and society. School can't be a social paradise, nor can it be an independent kingdom. Schools are active in society. Students, parents and families all live in society, and all kinds of influences in schools, whether positive or negative, are affecting society all the time. Creating a good atmosphere of campus mass dance can radiate to the mass dance environment of the whole society, thus promoting the prosperity and development of mass dance activities.

2.3 Educational approaches from the media perspective: Dance art can only be proved to be an objective social entity in communication. Only through dance communication can a nation's dance culture exist, maintain, inherit and develop. When a dance work is created, it will truly become a social existence and be preserved only after its social value is confirmed through communication; On the other hand, if communication is interrupted, it will lose the value of social existence and be eliminated by society. In today's society, in addition to the traditional mass dance (that is, mass dance activities during festivals, oral transmission, preservation and dissemination by recording dances), there is a faster, wider and more effective way of communication, that is, media communication. Television communication is the most concerned mode of communication among all media communication.
