Research on Teaching Strategies for Inheriting Ethnic Dance Culture in University Cheerleading Courses

Under the context of deepening cultural connotations in university sports and arts courses, the cultural capacity of cheerleading courses needs further enhancement, while ethnic dance culture also requires innovative pathways for pedagogical transmission. This study aims to construct a system of teaching strategies for integrating ethnic dance culture into university cheerleading courses. By analyzing the intrinsic connections between their bodily vocabulary and cultural carriers, it establishes a theoretical foundation for integration. Subsequently, a systematic content framework is designed, ranging from the extraction and adaptation of movement elements to course structuring. Finally, an integrated teaching pathway is developed, incorporating immersive instruction, bodily cognition training, and cultural expression evaluation. This provides a strategic framework with both theoretical and practical applicability, supporting innovation in cheerleading courses and the living inheritance of ethnic dance culture.
