The article reveals the peculiarities of the development of choreographic education in Ukraine in primary specialized art educational institutions (PSAEI) in the historical-pedagogical discourse, analyzes the organization, structure, content component of choreographic training of student youth in the specified types of institutions. In the process of holistic consideration of the outlined problem, the methods of system-structural, pedagogical and retrospective analysis, as well as the method of theoretical generalization, were used. Based on the study of a wide range of archival sources, it was found that in terms of their structure, target guidelines, organization of the educational process, art schools had signs of binary nature, combining the characteristics of an extracurricular institution and a professional education institution. The general concept of the development of children's art schools was written down in statutory regulations, where it was noted that the educational process is carried out on the basis of a personal-oriented approach to students, ensuring artistic and creative activity and a personal-value attitude to varieties of art. At various stages of formation and development, children's art schools united common functional characteristics such as early professional orientation of pupils, creation of a favorable educational environment for the upbringing of a creative personality with a special type of education, aimed at continuing artistic training in pre-higher and higher education institutions.
 The educational significance of the phenomenon of children's dance creativity in art schools as a component of pre-professional choreographic education is clarified. It was observed that in the out-of-school structure, primary art education institutions were an effective form of organizing pre-professional choreographic training. By combining general education and professionally oriented choreographic training, they had a great potential for forming dance performing abilities in systemic and multifaceted choreographic work. We define the early professionalization of education and the correlation of narrowly professional and general choreographic training as progressive trends in the development of pre-professional choreographic education in the studied types of schools. In addition to the realization of the tasks of self-realization and general cultural development of pupils, choreographic training provided them with prospects for further specialized training.

FORMS OF ORGANIZATION OF THE PRE-PROFESSIONAL CHOREOGRAPHIC TRAINING IN UKRAINE IN THE 20S OF THE XX CENTURY

The article reveals the peculiarities of the development of choreographic education in Ukraine in pre-professional forms of organization in the 20s of the XX century. In the aspect of socio-political and cultural determinants, the organizational and pedagogical foundations of choreographic training of the younger generation in the structure of general and out-of-school education are analyzed. The educational value of the phenomenon of pre-professional dance creativity is clarified. It has been observed that during the study period children's dance amateurism was formed in the educational, cultural and artistic spheres in institutions of various functional purposes: in general education institutions, dance vocational schools, art studios, children's and youth clubs. The dissemination of elementary choreographic knowledge also took place in various mass forms of aesthetic and educational leisure: concerts, literary and musical matinees, evenings, and mass folk festivals.Based on the analysis of the educational sector's reporting documentation of the time, it was found that official support for school and out-of-school amateur children's choreography was centralized, regulated by norms and methods, and subordinated to the ideological narratives of the society of the time. Physical education bias dominated the arrangement of the content of school motor training. The priority direction of leisure time choreographic activities of schoolchildren in institutions of mass culture is the attraction to newly created mass dance forms of Soviet origin, lexically simple and accessible for assimilation. The main principles of mass children's choreographic performance were the availability of dance vocabulary, a combination of elementary natural movements, jumps, running, simplicity and artistry of musical accompaniment.It is proved that in the period under study, the formation of the content of pre-professional choreographic training of children and students involved the correlation of ideological and educational tasks. Mass choreographic forms were interpreted primarily as an effective component of the overall system of class education. At the same time, it was noted that the quality level of children's amateur choreography in the system of cultural and mass work remained generally low, despite its popularity in society. The need to improve pre-professional dance creativity in various forms of organization remained relevant.

ABSTRACT A central key-component in children’s dance education is the promotion of creativity. This involves movement exploration, experimenting, and improvising with movement material, composing, and choreographing. These are necessary prerequisites for aesthetic and artistic development. Valid domain-specific test instruments are needed for the evaluation of creativity in dance. For this purpose, a test instrument for the assessment of creativity in dance for 3rd to 6th graders was developed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the construct validity of the Creativity in Dance Test (CDT) (N = 223, M = 9.55 ±1.29 years, girls: n = 110, boys: n = 113). The exploratory factor analysis (KMO =.731; Bartlett =.000; MSA >.50) showed a two-factorial structure, accounting for 51.8% of total variance. The CDT meets validity demands and thus is suitable for the evaluation of creativity in dance.
