Education in the Russian ballet school: Development prospects
Abstract
The article attempts to consider training in the Russian ballet school from the viewpoint of its compliance with the most advanced trends in the art of choreography at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries. To achieve the research goals there has been used the cultural-historical method, methods of participatory observation, document analysis and generalization. The author refers to the ideas of prominent researchers of dance moves (F. Delsarte, E. J.- Dalcroze, R. Laban), who influenced the development of modern dance, acting and plastic expressiveness. The article analyses certain example of change in the St. Petersburg Ballet School teaching methods. The author comes to the conclusion that development of Russian ballet largely determines the educational content in ballet schools, its compliance with the theaters’ repertoire policy. Reliance on best examples of modern choreography and achievements of Russian classical dancers will ensure the progressive development of the Russian Ballet School.
