This study focuses on the paradigm innovation of dance aesthetic education in colleges and universities in the digital – intelligent era, with emphasis on exploring how to construct a new teaching mode that integrates aesthetic education classrooms in colleges and universities with intelligent technologies. Taking the dance aesthetic education classroom of a university in Chengdu as the research object, this paper systematically diagnoses the existing predicaments of the traditional teaching mode through questionnaire surveys and data analysis. The results reveal the core problems in several aspects, including the single classroom teaching method, insufficient intelligent teaching resources, delayed response to students’ individual differences, and strong subjectivity in process – oriented evaluation. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the enabling value of artificial intelligence (AI) technology from the perspective of the teaching supply side, which is specifically manifested in the three-in-one intelligent transformation path of college dance aesthetic education: “Teaching” of dance aesthetic education integrated with digital intelligence, “learning” of dance aesthetic education integrated with digital intelligence, and “evaluation” of dance aesthetic education integrated with digital intelligence. Aiming at the core obstacles in the process of practical promotion, such as high equipment costs and uneven digital literacy of teachers, this study puts forward a three – level progressive solution strategy. At the government level, special funds should be established to support the sharing of equipment among institutions and reduce the cost of hardware investment. At the university level, a systematic training system should be improved to focus on cultivating teachers’ digital teaching capabilities. At the teacher level, it is necessary to actively change the traditional teaching concepts and innovate teaching methods and practical modes. Through the aforementioned multiparty collaborative measures, this study aims to provide a replicable and promotable transformation path for the innovative development of dance aesthetic education in colleges and universities in the digital-intelligent era.
