Aerobics is widely loved by college students, not only because it can combine music with sports, but also because it can organically combine dance with basic gymnastics. The project has a lively rhythm, which can reflect the fast pace of contemporary life, accelerate the flexible movement of human head, neck, trunk and limbs, and the movement is full of the aesthetic feeling of dance, which can bring people high artistic enjoyment while exercising.

First, the cultivation of dance awareness in college aerobics teaching

(1) rhythm and prosody

Rhythm means that aerobics practitioners should have a strong sense of music. In the process of training, practitioners can feel whether aerobics moves are harmonious with music by feeling the melody and beat of music, thus enhancing artistic expression; Rhythm refers to the rhythm and frequency of different dances or movements in aerobics, which can organically combine the nature of different movements and dances with the individual characteristics of the practitioners, so that the movements can be artistically connected and skillfully alternated.

(2) Basic posture and coordination

Basic posture is the basis of cultivating aerobics consciousness. Only after long-term systematic training can we form a good temperament, and we need to develop good habits of practicing basic postures and constantly improve the standardization and elegance of various basic movements. Coordination means that when aerobics practitioners complete various movements, they should coordinate all the joints involved in the movements, artistically express the beauty of the movements and enhance the visual comfort of the audience.

(3) Motion range and artistic accomplishment

The range of motion is the degree of extension of various parts of the body participating in the exercise. For individual practitioners, different physical qualities will lead to different ranges of motion. Practitioners need to learn from each other's strengths and try their best to show their physical advantages. For example, short-stature practitioners can take off with a higher center of gravity, and slender practitioners can fully extend their physical advantages; Improving the artistic accomplishment of aerobics practitioners can help them correctly understand the beauty of movements, enjoy beauty in the process of practice and improve the beauty of movements.

Second, training and improving college students' awareness of dance matters needing attention

Only by letting students really feel the beauty of aerobics in training can they have a strong interest in aerobics from the bottom of their hearts. In teaching practice, we should pay attention to helping students correctly understand the meaning of dance movements, and at the same time let them feel the beauty of aerobics from a deeper level and stimulate students' curiosity. Actively help and encourage students to experience the effect of dance movements and realize their own shortcomings, thus stimulating the internal motivation of training.
