Learning objectives:

The course focuses on the methodical preparation of folk dance teaching for 7th grade and the creation of a model lesson according to the curriculum of dance conservatories, dance disciplines of Elementary Schools of the Arts and other dance and movement studios for the level of advanced dancers and students.

The aim of the study is the development of methodical thinking, the ability to analyze the movement, its correct execution and methodical work with the correction of incorrect execution.

Thematic areas:

Students are asked to search the collections for more complex dances and their variations. These dances are then combined into larger units (students are introduced to the creation of bands).

  1. Increasing pupils' stamina: Students check how to work on pupils' stamina in folk dance. Dance combinations are made longer (for stamina) and more difficult (for technical growth).
  2. Creation of step variations, for example, from the following steps: mazurpolka, polka steps, Skocna in various combinations with other steps and all possibilities of execution. All other steps and their variations are used.
  3. Improvisation in folk dance: In the original folk environment, improvisation was an integral part of dance culture. Students learn how to incorporate improvisation in a non-violent way into folk dance instruction. There are various ways of doing this and other possibilities are open to the students (variation of a learned dance according to the imagination of the pupils, completion of a specified part of a dance combination, free improvisation on a song). Improvisation in fixed and non-fixed link to the musical accompaniment dances
  4. Dance repertoire.
  5. Further enrichment of dances with new motifs so that the pupils are prepared for work in a professional ensemble. The students prepare their own variations and combinations of step motifs and whole dances, which they then consult with each other.
