The lecture is carried out simultaneously with theory and practice, explanation and work playback, while playing the gold medal works of the first to the tenth "Little Lotus Style" National Children's Dance Exhibition, such as "Counting Tall Buildings", "My Idol", "Caterpillar", "I Am Cantonese", "Drum Rhyme New Life", etc., while concisely analyzing and explaining from the aspects of creative concept, dance theme, theme action, motivation development, dance image, dance music, etc., telling everyone what kind of works are good works and where good works are good. From what aspects should we innovate and create good works? At the same time, she also put forward personal observations on the current children's dance, believing that there are deficiencies such as "imbalance between young children and children's dance", "imbalance between male and female proportions" and "the same choreography style", pointing out that children's dance "the use of props should be appropriate", "the educational significance is very important" and "the choreography should go hand in hand".
