Information on the combined form:
The course is taught in a combined form of contact and non-contact teaching in a ratio of approximately 1:3, i.e. 36 hours distance learning, 14 hours full-time per semester.
The summer semester includes intensive concentrated block teaching of the main subjects.
The pedagogical seminar of classical dance 4 further develops the independent pedagogical practice from the previous year so that students combine the knowledge gained from the classical dance methodology classes and this seminar. Common encounters and confrontations allow students to grasp and process the assigned topic from different perspectives and experiences, expanding the art of communication based on practical teaching. The discussion leads to an in-depth analysis of the prepared lesson and an evaluation of its effectiveness.
The course is completely related to the substance of the classical dance methodology of the 2nd and 3rd year, where the student gradually elaborates the discussed substance into teaching combinations and subsequent enchaînements.
Example topics include:
- Concepts: training, lesson, rehearsal, rehearsal
- Building the intention of practicing effective movement stereotypes in combination with teaching, instruction, mentoring
- Systematic development of the performer's artistic personality with regard to the specifics of the ensemble and the artistic characteristics of the selected subjects
- Influence of contemporary choreographic vocabulary and original movement connections on a) profiling of dancers; b) linking with traditional schemes
- An atmosphere of creativity, humility and commitment to constant attention to detail that expresses virtuosic expressions through movement, step, gesture, facial expressions.
Meeting and observing various pedagogical personalities, both domestic and international, is essential for improving professional pedagogical thinking and practice. Workshops organized by the Department are an integral part of the study.
Learning outcomes
The aim of the lessons is to further develop attention to verbal expression, the ability to work with music and accompanist, demonstration and professional correction. Qualitatively, creativity and pedagogical perception are further developed through teaching examples. Students learn and apply pedagogical skills in general principles for use as ensemble teacher, rehearsal artist, assistant artistic director, and choreographer.

Note
The teaching combines monological, applied, and interactive teaching methods, and encourages self-study in non-contact learning and critical thinking of the student. The student is encouraged to create his/her own portfolio based on the acquisition of his/her own experience and skills.
Distance contact will be provided:
- phone, email, video calls
- through group platforms for communication between students (social networks, internet, apps, moodle, etc.)
Independent work of the student within the framework of contactless learning:
Own pedagogical practice
Each student will present his/her pedagogical practice twice a semester, which will be filmed on camera and sent with appropriate comments to his/her teacher, who will study it and give feedback to the student preferably in the context of contact teaching. 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.
Literature study
The 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.
Examples of topics:
- Concentration, awareness of the goals of each exercise and lesson, dynamics and intensity of attention to one's own body, movement
- Concept, manifestations and solutions to fatigue, crisis, resistance (effectiveness of exercises)
- Integration of movement by combining external instruction, internal perception of physical fitness and reflexive expression
Internet resources
Internet resources, especially YouTube, will be used for further information gathering, where students will again search for appropriate links (at least four per topic) to the topics, which they will pass on to each other and apply the information and knowledge gained in the contact practice sessions.
