With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), its application in various fields has grown, including in the realm of dance education. AI-powered choreographic assistants are emerging as powerful tools, capable of generating complex choreography and analyzing dance movements. However, the role of human dance teachers remains essential in conveying emotional expression, cultural context, and individualized guidance. This article explores the integration of AI in dance education, examining both the advantages and challenges it presents. It highlights the complementary relationship between AI and human teachers, arguing that while AI can enhance teaching efficiency and creative possibilities, it cannot replace the deeper human aspects of dance education. The article concludes with an outlook on the future of dance education, emphasizing the collaborative potential of AI and teachers to enrich the learning experience and elevate the quality of artistic education.
