Abstract

The article is devoted to the investigation of the differences іn the manifestation of the components of emotional intelligence between partner and solo dancers. The results of the empirical research revealed that the paired dancers are characterized by average level of awareness and understanding their emotions, awareness of their inner state, developed emotional stability, high empathy, low level of emotional divergence, also they demonstrated developed intuitive channel of empathy. The attention to the adequate recognition of their own, as well as of their opponents, ensures the ability of the guys dancers to properly interpret verbal and non-verbal information, in order to receive the incentives of our men and women's s sons, and apparently the sons of the couple. According to the results, solo dancers are characterized by such indicators as identification in empathy (they have a developed ability to understand others), the average level of awareness and understanding of their own emotions, low level of emotional divergence, the average level of flexibility, high rates of neuroticism, which is usually developed among ballet dancers or in choreographic universities by solo performers. The rational empathy channel is quite developed in both groups of dancers. It means that they have a clear focus of attention, they perceive the subject, express empathy, and also show interest in others, which helps them to find an emotional and intuitive reflection of the partner. For paired dancers it is natural, but we should note that since there is an improvisation in solo dancing, the average results of respondents in this group are connected with this. Accordingly, in solo performers it is defined that choreographic practices and improvisation serve as artistic forms of modulation of emotions and development of emotional plasticity. Thanks to choreographic vision, not only the interpretive process on the part of the dancer / choreographer takes place, but there is also a creative association between emotions and music, because in this combination of movements reflects the experience of the dancer. Further research can be devoted to the revealing of the differences in emotional intelligence between male and female dancers.
