STUDY OF COORDINATION ABILITIES OF VAGANOVA BALLET ACADEMY STUDENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF PROFESSIONAL CHOREOGRAPHIC TRAINING

Abstract

The sustainability and coordination of movements are the basic physical qualities of the ballet artist, the foundation that determines  the pupil’s ability to learn in a professional choreographic institution.  The disparity between the current high requirements for the level of  coordinating capabilities of ballet artists and the almost total  absence of scientifically sound special techniques for testing and  improving different types of Coordinating capacities at the primary  level in vocational schools has determined the relevance of this  study. Methods of theoretical analysis of art and pedagogical  literature were used as well as system method in grouping the  material’s presentation, a comparative analysis method, diagnostic  (questionnaire, testing) and experimental (declaring pedagogical  experiment) methods. methods of statistical processing of the  results of the study. The results of the study showed that the  majority of choreographers were not sufficiently aware of the types  of coordinating capabilities, testing methods and development, since  the Special scientific and methodological literature on development.  The coordinating abilities in classical choreography are practically uncoordinated. Testing the coordinating abilities of the  Academy’s 2-grade schoolgirls showed a fairly low level of ability to  balance, to differentiate, to orient and to restructure the propulsion,  to rhythm. The low level and the lack of correlation between the  degree of development of these options for coordinating abilities  among themselves proves the need to develop special exercises for  the development of each of them separately.
