The reasons which caused the problems of dance teaching team include not only the problems of teachers, but also various aspects such as, the requirements of various colleges and universities on new ｏｒ ex-isting teachers for educational requirements, professional title requirements, professional skills, theoretical re-search, continuing education, etc. The introduction regulations for dance teachers in colleges and universities takes the doctoral degree and associate professor title as the standard for all dance teachers, which affects the number of teachers, professional skills, research level, title structure and many other aspects. In some remote areas, the talents introduction of local colleges and universities can be relaxed to ｍａｓｔｅｒ's degree, but it is ne-glected by local policies in many aspects such as house purchase discounts, rent subsidies, and living allow-ances, which seriously affects the sense of “fairness” and “acquisition” in teachers’ work and life. In this pa-per, the first and second sections analyze the dance teachers in colleges and universities while classifying them into three kinds of practical teachers, theoretical teachers and comprehensive teachers. The third section expounds the teachers’ professional skill and theoretical research. The fourth section discusses focusing on teachers’ communication ability. The author tries to provide the policy makers and managers of Chinese higher education in dance with new teachers' introduction standards and requirements, and provide reference for the development of dance teachers in Chinese colleges and universities who have already served.
