Note

Teaching combines monological, applied, interactive teaching methods, encourages self-study within the framework of non-contact learning and student's critical thinking. 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.)

The students' independent activity is aimed at obtaining information about the region, processing and using it in teaching folk dances, preparing documents for teaching folk dance and creating performances for students of art schools, amateur and professional groups.

The student's independent work within the framework of non-contact teaching consists of:

• studying selected literature on given topics,
• searching for information in internet sources
• visiting at least one folklore festival and submitting a written reflection

After each area covered, the listener prepares a technical tutorial and searches for dances in the literature related to that area.

The student will search for a sample of the dance on YouTube or the Strážnice DVD, evaluate the movement and dance material, analyse the movement vocabulary of the area and prepare a short reflection.

The student prepares a term paper on the assigned topic (5-6 pages range) and writes a lesson for the selected region.
