The Education course serves, mainly, to prepare for independent teaching practice so the student can apply the acquired knowledge from the classical dance methods and technique classes.

Group meetings and comparisons by students of various study years allow understanding and development of the assigned topic from the viewpoint of verious levels of instruction. Students from lower study years are forced to react and discuss the work of their older colleagues and vice versa. This work design provides for an understanding of the application, in practice, of the entire scale of elements, phrases and combinations in classical dance technique. This develops creativity and the education-perception skills.

An important parto of the Education course is the invitation of domestic and foreign instructors (this depends, mainly, on the financial situation).

Students have the opportunity to learn the manners of working of other educators, be introduced to various teaching styles, find new opportunities in the approach to understanding issues in instructing classical dance.

In discussion is the analysis of knowledge acquired.
