Distance contact will be provided:
- phone, email, video calls
- through group platforms for communication between students (social networks, internet, apps,
moodle, etc.)
Independent work of the student within the framework of contactless learning:
- Preparation of a seminar paper (scope min. 5 NS)
- Study of literature:
Study of selected literature is one of the basic tasks of self-study, students will be assigned specific topics to study based on various sources. In contact teaching, students will analyse, compare and apply the knowledge acquired in class, subjecting it to their own critical thinking.
Topics will be selected in relation to the material discussed in the classical dance methodology of the stage of instruction.
Examples of topics:
- Postural program
- Deep Stabilization System
- Function of the diaphragm for balance and breathing
- Position of the abdominal muscles (function of the musculus iliopsoas for coordination of movement and emotional patterns)
- Internet Resources:
Internet resources, especially YouTube, will be used for further information gathering, where students will again search for appropriate links (at least four per topic) to the topics, which will be shared with each other and the information and knowledge gained will be applied in contact practical teaching.
- Hospitalization:
Students will visit at least twice a semester a professional dance school-conservatoire and a school-studio engaged in teaching classical dance for amateurs and prepare a written reflection of the lesson visited in the scope of at least three A4 pages. The specific place and teacher-lecturer will be determined during the consultation at the contact teaching, the selection will take into account the fact that the visit to the school facilities will be as convenient as possible for the students.
