As art education increasingly emphasizes cultivating innovative abilities, traditional dance choreography teaching models face challenges, particularly their inadequacies in fostering students' innovative thinking and independent creative abilities. This paper focuses on the cultivation of innovative ability in teaching dance choreography and directing, discusses the limitations of the current teaching mode, and puts forward a teaching reform scheme based on the cultivation of innovative ability. By analyzing the connotation of innovation ability and its important role in choreography and directing dance, this paper constructs a theoretical framework for cultivating innovation ability and further designs specific teaching reform strategies, including the innovation of Curriculum, teaching methods and evaluation mechanism. The research shows that the cultivation of innovation ability can improve students' creativity and promote the overall development of dance art education. This paper provides a theoretical basis and practical path for the future teaching reform of choreography and directing.
