Dance is not only a form of performance that reflects the performer's physical condition and temperament but also places high demands on the performer's emotional expression. The purpose of this article is to identify students' understanding of dance works, strengthen their aesthetic appreciation of dance pieces, reinforce their learning capacity in dance knowledge, nurture their creativity in dance, and enhance the overall quality of the dance pedagogy. The article employed library research involving online academic resources to gather and evaluate academic journal articles and conference papers. The research outcomes illuminate the diverse advantages of dance education. Firstly, it enhances students' understanding of dance compositions, enabling a deeper exploration of choreographic intricacies and artistic expression. Secondly, it heightens their aesthetic perception, fostering a deeper appreciation for dance's artistic nuances. Lastly, it strengthens their learning aptitude in the dance domain, imparting a robust knowledge base and skill set. These findings underscore dance's role as an educational instrument, enriching not just physical prowess but also cognitive and emotional growth among students. In summary, the importance of cultivating emotional expression skills in dance education cannot be overstated. This emphasis holds the potential to bring about a positive transformation in higher education institutions' dance programs. By prioritizing emotional expression training, educators aim to enhance students' artistic abilities while fostering personal growth. This approach ultimately empowers students to become more expressive and empathetic individuals through the art of dance, offering a promising outlook for the future of dance education in colleges and universities.
