ABSTRACT
It has been surveyed that about 32% boys considered themselves to be short of dance skills.When asked why they did not like dance, their answers were “I dance so ungainly”, “I can’t complete the action”, “I am ugly when I was dancing” “My body is stiff”, etc. Children’s answers result from the evaluation of adults. Boys were always not willing to show dance moves learned in kindergarten. The survey also found that about 31% boys were not interested in dance activities. The reasons include “it has not fun,” “following teachers’ moves is very tired,” etc., and some of the boys even said “they hate dancing activities.” In addition, influenced by traditional ideas for a long time, men tend to pay little attention to some areas of women. Meanwhile, about 21% boys thought that “dancing belongs to girls”, “boys are not allowed to dance,” “if one dances, he will make no achievement”, “boys will be laughed at by girls if they dance,” etc [1]. It was their family members including parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts that transmitted the traditional concepts. Therefore, misguidance from all sectors of society has led to boy bias of dance.
