THE SELECTION OF DANCERS CHARACTERISTICS AND PARTICULARITIES

Abstract

Problem statement: Dance Sport is a special kind of sport, in a continuous transformation and evolution, whose regulations constantly adapt to society and to the present time and still offer, permanently, a total spectacle. In order for athletes - dancers to assert themselves on the dance floor, in competitions, it is not enough just for their interest or desire to participate. There are a number of mandatory conditions that need to be considered, the first of which is staged selection (respecting and following the selection criteria of each stage ). Given the diversity of forms that selection can take in expression sports (according to certain principles) and at the same time taking stock of the most used terms in the field, we further set out some models and classification criteria but also methods and forms of selection. Selection is a long, organized and repetitive process of detecting the innate availability of children / young people, through the prism of a complex system of criteria (medical, biological, motor, psychological, social and cultural), in order to practice and further specialize in a Dance Sport discipline ( Standard Dances, Latin Dances, Mixed - 10 Dances). The selection model represents a vast structure that can be permanently adapted according to human morphological changes and also, psycho-functional changes. It has multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary characteristics, biological, pedagogical, mental, technical, social and cultural. The model has a pronounced prospective character.
