TIME MANAGEMENT AS A TEACHING COMPETENCE IN CLASSICAL DANCE LESSONS

Abstract

This study looked into time variable differences in the teaching competence “Time of motor commitment” in Classical Dance lessons accompanied by either recorded music or a pianist teacher. Fifty recordings of 89 students of a Higher Education Dance Conservatory were analyzed in their ballet lessons with both musical supports. The results show differences in the categories of “Task Time” and “Organization Time” according to the musical support used, showing longer “Task Time” and shorter “Organization time” in lessons with live music. Therefore, live music could provide more productive lessons with less loss of time.
