The content of the Didactics and Methodology of Dance Education 1 consists of the theoretical part, focused on the methodology and didactics of dance education, and the practical application of the knowledge acquired during the study. Emphasis is placed on the construction of a dance lesson for different age categories, taking into account the specific differences in the period of childhood and adolescence. The main theme that runs through the entire teaching is creativity and the conscious development of the emotional, psychological and physical aspects of the child's personality.
