THE USE OF DANCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOLCHILDREN’S AESTHETIC TASTE IN OUT-OF-SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES OF CHOREOGRAPHIC ART

Abstract

Choreographic art is an essential means of the comprehensive development of a child. Choreography classes contribute to the aesthetic education of children, positively affect their physical development, and contribute to the growth of their general culture, so choreographic art has a rich opportunity for the comprehensive implementation of educational tasks. However, the analysis of their own practical experience and observations at choreography lessons in out-of-school educational institutions revealed that students are primarily interested in modern dance styles among various dance types. In this regard, there is a problem of forming the schoolchildren's aesthetic taste by dance. The article examines the creative possibilities of choreographic art for forming aesthetic taste in schoolchildren in out-of-school educational institutions. Dance training will be more productive if children are encouraged to engage in holistic choreographic activities, during which schoolchildren will be more motivated to learn the elements of classical, folk, ballroom, and modern dance. To implement this condition, we propose to organize and hold dance festivals between students of specific age categories. This form of work will increase children's interest in choreography lessons. In addition, this form of work will stimulate children to more productive work, which will contribute to the improvement and aesthetic saturation of their movements, the accumulation of artistic and dance impressions, the comprehension of their choreographic capabilities, and the development of children's creativity.
