Contemporary Aspects Of Dance Theory

Abstract

First and foremost, any corporal technique applied in dance training should have the physical ability to train the body for becoming stronger, flexible and more efficient. Even if the movements made by a dancer place him in the field of sports, we can say that he is not a simple athlete, but a sports artist who uses in his training forms of research and knowledge that comes from the science of dance. Through the principles of training and by applying them it is possible to adjust the physical development, which is becoming significant when the volume of work and the intensity of the dancer`s performance are taken into account. This article examines the methods of technical improvement of dance classes by applying the scientific principles of dance, as well as a brief history of the development of science in dance as a separate field from that in the science of sport. The text focuses on exercise physiology, motor control and assimilation, and dance psychology. The main purpose of these suggestions is to enhance the technique of dance classes, without essentially altering its primary structure and artistic objectives. The practice of teaching both dance technique and the act itself has been focused on mastering artistic forms for centuries. Although traditional dance teaching methods make up fine tools for the formation of the dancing artist, too often dancers are affected by what appear to be insurmountable physical obstacles. Dance classes were built primarily to learn the vocabulary and movement skills, to develop their musicality and formulation, and to enhance uniqueness in creativity and expressiveness. For the current generation of young dancers, the science of dance makes its presence in the artistic field to provide information on these issues.
