This study explores how creative inspirations in dance choreography and related teaching methods shape adolescent dancers' psychological development. By analyzing three inspiration types—cultural heritage, social reality, and abstract imagery—it identifies mechanisms like cultural identity reinforcement, emotional competence enhancement, and emotional projection. The research combines theory with stage-specific pedagogy: secondary students benefit from collectivist group works, while university students engage with social themes to build civic awareness. Abstract creations across stages foster adaptability and emotional resilience. Empirical cases validate these dynamics, underscoring the need for reflective teaching to manage emotional aftereffects. The study concludes that aligning creative themes with developmental needs fosters holistic growth, supporting dance education that integrates artistic and psychological empowerment.
