Abstract

In recent years, adult dance education in China has expanded rapidly through market-driven development, forming an accessible and non-professional art education model. Training institutions cater to diverse adult needs by establishing flexible systems aimed at unlocking potential and stimulating interest. Through progressive learning, participants gain positive feedback, creating a cycle of "interest-driven engagement — achievement incentive — sustained involvement." While institutions achieve market growth via differentiated positioning, a key contradiction persists: high participation rates contrast sharply with low persistence rates. Although current teaching models attract learners quickly, they often overlook the dynamic evolution of psychological motivation.
