Abstract
In China, the inclusion of Chinese folk dance in early childhood education has been gaining attention as a means to preserve cultural heritage and promote holistic development. Many educational institutions, including those in Hebei Province, have been incorporating Chinese folk dance into their early childhood education programs. This integration aims to foster an appreciation for traditional Chinese culture, enhance physical coordination, and stimulate creativity among young learners. Additionally, emphasis on cultural education aligns with broader governmental initiatives to uphold and celebrate China's rich cultural traditions. As a result, there is a growing recognition of the significance of Chinese folk dance within the early childhood education landscape in China, with efforts to weave it into curricula and activities.
