moodle, etc.)

Independent work of the student within the framework of contactless learning:

Study of selected literature is one of the basic tasks of self-study, students will be assigned specific topics to study based on various sources. In contact teaching, students will analyse, compare and apply the knowledge acquired in class, subjecting it to their own critical thinking.

Topics will be selected in relation to the material discussed in the classical dance methodology of the stage of instruction.

Examples of topics:

Internet resources, especially YouTube, will be used for further information gathering, where students will again search for relevant links (at least four per topic) to be shared with each other and apply the information and knowledge gained in contact practice sessions.

Students will visit at least twice a semester a professional dance school-conservatoire and a school-studio engaged in teaching classical dance for amateurs and prepare a written reflection from the lesson visited in the scope of at least three A4 pages. The specific place and teacher-lecturer will be determined during the consultation at the contact teaching, the selection will take into account the fact that the visit to the school facilities will be as convenient as possible for the students.
