  • Pedagoški pristopi v plesnem izobraževanju = Pedagogical approaches in dance education
    Kramer, Martina
    Today, organised dancing activities appear in diverse dance genres, include people of various ages and occur in different forms. Dance is part of the state curriculum for pre-schools and schools. It ... is taught at different educational levels. Just as in other educational areas, there are different pedagogical approaches in teaching and learning dance. Every pedagogical approach is demonstrated in the teaching style which is significant for particular dance types. Classical ballet is traditionally linked to the authoritative educational style, where the teacher as the only expert passes on his/her knowledge to pupils in a manner that emphasises the product - the final dance. The teaching of some contemporary dance styles is linked to the permissive educational style, in which the child-centred learning process is dominant and underlines the child’s emotional development. This paper critically assesses both approaches that have been developing throughout the 20th century and at the same time presents the reproductive and productive styles and the integrated model of teaching that allow dance teaching to facilitate complete personal growth of each participant. The integrative model is appropriate for learning and teaching dance at any educational level and is applicable to all dance types. Following the integrated model, organised dance activities would attain an optimal development of the individual’s dancing abilities and simultaneously nurture aesthetic, cultural and artistic values, regardless of whether they relate to pre-school dance activities or dance activities at an educational institution that might lead the individual to become a professional dancer. In this manner, dance can contribute to the complete development of an individual and create a society that will be well familiar with dance art.
