The research proposes strategies such as incorporating Eurhythmics elements into dance choreography and rhythm training, and utilizing game-based teaching to spark student interest and enhance physical coordination and artistic expression. Despite challenges like insufficient teacher expertise and inadequate teaching resources, this paper suggests solutions including strengthening teacher training, optimizing resource allocation, and integrating technology.
