With the increase in demand for art education and art culture, dance education at universities is being paid more and more attention. At present, in addition to colleges and universities majoring in dance, many comprehensive colleges and universities have quickly incorporated dance majors into their curricula, which has promoted the development of dance as a discipline, but also produced many problems. Zhaoqing University and Gyeongsang National University are two local comprehensive universities offering dance majors in China and South Korea. This paper compares the dance education and teaching levels of the two universities from the perspective of professional development history, discipline construction and education and teaching courses. It also analyzes existing problems, and proposes that we should continuously improve the training programs for dance students and encourage professional development of dance teachers, while encouraging the construction of hardware facilities and paying attention to the educational role of Folk Dance, so as to further improve the dance education and teaching quality of local comprehensive colleges and universities.
