Studies in the bachelor’s degree field of study Dance and Movement Theatre and Education are conceived in the combined form, taking place in weekend blocks, 10 times per academic year and in workshops, with the aim of educating the student to become a teacher-creator. The role of a teacher in the field of dance is not separable from creative work in this field, so it is necessary that the education of dance or movement education teachers is more closely linked to the support and development of creativity of Dance and Movement Theatre and Education field graduates. Emphasis is placed on the development of expressive skills in movement and dance and the primary task is to teach dance as an experience that contributes to life philosophy and lifestyle. The concept of the studies is unified in taking into account the personal pedagogical and creative individualities. It includes the acquisition of basic knowledge in the field of methodologies of individual dance techniques and movement disciplines and theoretical and historical education in the field of dramatic arts with emphasis on dance and movement theatre; it also emphasises personal and creative approach to pedagogical and creative activities in dancing.

The basic objective of the bachelor’s degree field of study Dance and Movement Theatre and Education is to create a teacher-creator who is capable of pedagogical and creative approach to dance art and dance and movement education. The studies aim to make dance and movement education an extraordinary educational tool with the possibility of developing everyone’s holistic personality. Such teach-creator can adapt his or her pedagogical and creative approach, i.e. the approach to education and creation in the field of dance and movement theatre, to the needs of the relevant age group: future professional dancers, art school students, amateur interest groups or primary and secondary school students enrolled in dance and movement courses.
