Folk-modern dance as the method of development choreographic skills for performers in aerial acrobatics and pylon sports

Abstract

Aerial silks and pylon sports are technical and aesthetic directions that help develop the physical qualities of the performer, but it is possible to improve their choreographic skill, which is a component of theperformance, due to the folk-modern classes. Due to the classes in choreography, children and adults improve their performing skills, develop artistry and character, in the process of forming technical qualities. Folk dance develops the performer's acting skills, helps to get acquainted with different types of performance and create a unique national style during the performance of aerial acrobatics. Performance with the use of folk choreography are more emotionally saturated, bright, characteristic, they convey the feelings of the performers, their belonging to a certain national stratum. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to determine the influence of folk-stage and folk-modern choreography on the development of performing abilities in aerial acrobatics and pole sports. The issue of choreographic training of athletes in technical and aesthetic sports, such as artistic and athletic gymnastics, figure skating, synchronized swimming, etc., as well as the involvement of folk and stage choreography in this process, was studied by such scientists as Rumba O.H. (2006), V.Yu. Sosina (2009), V.G. Todorova (2018) and others. Methodological recommendations in folk-stage choreography were studied in the work of modern scientists on folk-stage choreography, such as E. Zaitsev and Yu. Kolesnichenko (2007), etc.The issue of the development of such directions as pylon sports, aerial silks, rings, and hammocks was studied by scientists such as Hanna Oleynyk (2017), Irina Kartali (2018), Steven Santos (2013), Pony Poison (2013), and others. However, the question of using folk-modern as a method of choreographic training of performers in aerial acrobatics and pole sports has not been raised in modern literature yet. Due to our research, we have studied in detail the conducted scientific works devoted to the application of folk-stage choreography in the process of training performers in technical and aesthetic sports, and developed a program for improving choreographic skills in such areas as aerial acrobatics and pylon sports.
