Learning objectives:

The content of the course leads to the acquisition of practical skills in repetitive work with folk material. Finding movement material for teaching and creation performances. This develops students' own creative potential necessary for their own teaching practice. The Dance Practice course can also be taught in blocks, in the form of intensive workshops in a given semester. The student rehearses selected parts of dances according to the recordings and creates movement preparation for them, which is then methodically applied.

The aim of the study is to teach the student to find interesting movement motifs, to rehearse them and then to develop them into shorter choreographic units.

Thematic areas:

The recommended part of the course is the active participation of students in a workshop of the folk ensemble's repertoire, a dance workshops organized by the HAMU Dance School or other institutions.

  1. Searching for dance demonstrations of folk ensembles on YouTube and other internet sources
  2. Consultation of the selected demonstrations with the assignment of the part to be prepared by the student
  3. Rehearsal work with the selected sample, methodological analysis
  4. Practical demonstration of the selected dance fragment, its methodological-didactic processing
  5. Own modification of the selected sample - simplification, variations, rhythmic or movement enrichment - in relation to the level of the target group

Learning outcomes

The student will gain practical experience with repetition and creation of shorter movement units and works with their individual parts in a creative way. The student will understand the laws of dance and movement composition. The student will have a basic overview of different choreographic approaches in folk dance, based on watching examples of choreography from our leading and international companies.
