Learning objective:

The pedagogical seminar serves primarily for independent pedagogical practice so that students apply the knowledge gained in classical ballet methodology classes.

Attention is paid to verbal expression, ability to work with music and accompanist, demonstration and professional correction. All this develops creativity and pedagogical perception.

Meeting and observing various pedagogical personalities, both domestic and foreign, is essential for the improvement of professional pedagogical thinking and action. Practical training takes place in professional dance schools, private dance studios, art schools (ZUŠ), and if circumstances permit also in a professional dance company.

The workshops organized by the department are an integral part of the study.

Thematic areas:

-Classical dance training in a professional dance company.

-Differences in the approach to training based on the focus of the dance company.

-Different approach in teaching in a school and in a professional dance company.

-Creating exercises and combinations on a given theme within a specific level of instruction.

-Peer confrontation and analysis.

-Independent assignment and lesson management.

-Working with guest teachers in workshops, analysing them and participating in the subsequent discussion.

Learning outcomes

The student gains experience through a practicum in which they apply their practical and theoretical knowledge of classical ballet methodology at the basic, intermediate and advanced stages (Years 1 - 8). The student is able to create an appropriate lesson structure and choose the right methodological procedures according to the technical level of the students. He gains valuable experience and feedback, which strengthens his complex personality as a dance teacher.
