Contents

Students create a movement preparation for a selected area. The following Pedagogy Seminar 2 - 8 are continuations of detailled studies of some of those areas. In one course one to two folklore areas are covered in detail according to content and difficulty. VHS cassettes with authentic recordings of native dancers are used for instruction. The sequence of areas may be changed according to the given study year studying. The makeup of individual study-years is always different and, therefore, it is necessary to approach the instruction individually in the Pedagogy seminar.

Dances of Central Bohemia: Central Bohemia has an exceptional position among the other areas and it is not simple to precisely define the region. For the wider region, Central Bohemia has the characteristic of great variety in Folkdance. It is impossible to master all the dances, therefore, only a selection of a few recordings is made for the students. Dances of Southern Bohemia: The extensive area of the Southern Bohemia region takes up about a quarter of Bohemia. This region has many more diverse environment conditions and styles of living than other Czech regions.
