Information on the combined form:

The course is taught in a combined form of contact and non-contact teaching in a ratio of approximately 1:4, i.e. 40 hours distance learning, 10 hours full-time per semester.

The course creates conditions for learning to move consciously in the present body and mind. Based on one's own immediate experience, there is an awareness of the basic principles of dance medicine, i.e. elimination of excess effort and tension, increased speed, flexibility, stability, communication, etc.

The course is linked to the content of the material covered in the course Fundamentals of Movement Training 1. It is taught in two semesters.

Teaching methods:

• Monological (interpretation, lecture, instruction)
• Application of theoretical information to practical exercises
• Discussion
• Self-study, guided study
• Critical thinking

The aim of study

• is to get to know one's own body and its possibilities as a tool of communication so that the body becomes a source of communication
• to understand the basic principles related to the health of the dancer
• to understand the basic anatomical, biomechanical and motor principles related to dance education
• develop theoretical and research skills and apply them to one's own teaching practice, i.e. be able to select adequate conditioning and somatic practices and use them appropriately
• be familiar with the basic literature and current trends in sports medicine
• be able to handle basic work with exercise and medical equipment and be able to incorporate them appropriately into practical teaching
