From a theoretical point of view, the aim is to lead the students to independent thought, to explore the issues of teaching dance and movement and to find their own creative approaches. From the point of view of using pedagogical approaches to teach dance, the students are guided to search for the context and regularities of the movement principles and their intersections in individual special dance techniques and under individual conditions.
