Learning objectives:

This course focuses on how to create a lesson: Students will learn the most effective way to create a lesson. First, they will review the dance repertoire of the year for which they are creating the lesson. They will select from the dances the dance links and variations they will use to work on the freestyle, adapting them if necessary for the needs of the group. They then select individual steps from the step links that need to be taught separately to the pupils and then create new variations to them.

The aim of the studies is to further develop methodical thinking and the ability to analyse movement. The ability to create other possible variations on movement themes written in the collections. To create different lessons for different types of dance schools and dance studios.

Thematic areas:

Students create model lessons and adapt them for different types of dance schools. First, lessons of a simpler type are created and then lessons of a more complex and technically demanding type are created. Working with literature and modifying the dance material recorded here.

  1. Students search for unusual and not very often used dances from many different folklore areas.
  2. Students learn to maintain the basic structure of the dances when making adaptations, so that they can work with the material in two ways to make the dances simpler but also more difficult.
  3. Creating a model lesson for advanced students.
  4. Preparation of variations to dances with fixed and non-fixed musical accompaniment - Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.
  5. Simplification of variations and further modification of prepared variations for different types of dance studios and dance conservatories.
