Abstract

Today, modern ballroom dance is the priority direction of the development of modern choreographic art, in contrast to folk and pop art. Nowadays, despite the existence of a sufficiently large number of different directions of modern, folk, pop choreography, ballroom dance is becoming not only more and more popular, but also a dynamically developing direction. Therefore, special attention from the point of view of both historical and theoretical-methodical research of ballroom dance requires substantiation of its features and prerequisites for further development, both as a sport and as a choreographic art. The article examines the conditions for the formation of ballroom dancing, its main features, and determines the prospects for the further development of this type of choreographic art. Dance provides an opportunity for physical, aesthetic, spiritual development and education of both children and youth, as well as adults. Learning the best motor skills and skills in the training process is associated with the mobilization and active development of many physiological functions of the human body: blood circulation, breathing, neuromuscular activity, etc. Thanks to the fast rhythm, complex and varied technique, ballroom dancing helps a person to feel self-confidence, prevents the appearance of complexes, trains endurance, the vestibular apparatus, the respiratory system and the heart. In recent years, a new type of leisure activity in the field of ballroom dancing has been actively developing in Ukraine - dancing in the Pro-Am (Professional - amateur) format. Pro-Am is a direction in ballroom dancing where one participant is a professional teacher and the other is an amateur student. In addition to numerous trainings in the dance hall and demonstration performances, such a couple has the opportunity to participate in dance tournaments and festivals. Pro-Am competitions are held both as part of sports ballroom dance tournaments and as independent events. The Pro-Am system is a unique dance training system. An individual approach to each student makes it possible not only to teach him to dance technically correctly, but also to reveal individual capabilities. Everyone who studies has the opportunity to choose the direction that he likes the most and to study in the mode that suits him best, thus, the effectiveness of classes increases.
