Information on the combined form:

The course is taught in a combined form of contact and non-contact teaching in a ratio of approximately 1:4, i.e. 40 hours distance learning, 10 hours full-time per semester.

The content of the Pedagogical Seminar of Classical Dance 1 is mainly the guidance and training of independent pedagogical practice so that students apply the knowledge gained from the classical dance methodology classes. Joint meetings and confrontations allow students to grasp and process the assigned topic from different perspectives and experiences, expand the art of communication based on practical teaching, which leads to the development of creativity and pedagogical perception.

The course is completely related to the substance of the classical dance methodology of the 2nd year, where the student gradually elaborates the discussed substance into teaching combinations and subsequent enchaînements.

The aim of the course is to deepen the attention to verbal expression, the ability to work with music and accompanist, demonstration and professional correction. The discussion includes an in-depth analysis of the prepared lesson and an evaluation of its effectiveness.

Examples of topics:

1. Lesson composition and lesson construction, lesson
2. Combination of methods of assessing students and their qualifications
3. Motivation of pupils, their feedback, the relationship of the lesson to the rehearsed repertoire examples

Meeting and observing various pedagogical personalities, both domestic and foreign, is essential for improving professional pedagogical thinking and action. Workshops organized by the Department are an integral part of the study.

Of course, a written form of feedback or Skype can also be used. If the student does not have his/her own teaching practice, he/she must organise his/her own teaching on the assigned topic so that he/she can record his/her pedagogical output.
