Current dance education practices in kindergartens exhibit a tendency to prioritize performance over creative expression, employ outdated teaching methods, and feature monotonous content formats, all of which hinder the development of children’s creativity. This study focuses on fostering creativity by analyzing existing dance teaching practices in kindergartens. Based on this analysis, we propose implementation strategies including creating open and supportive dance environments; designing dance themes and content grounded in children’s life experiences; adopting diversified heuristic teaching approaches; implementing process-oriented “observation-support-dialogue” interactive teaching methods; and establishing multifaceted evaluation systems that emphasize creative processes and performance. These strategies aim to provide practical guidance for kindergarten dance education, stimulate children’s imagination and creativity, and promote their holistic development.Creativity, Kindergarten dance teaching, Early childhood education
