Research Methodology For Education Through Partner Dancesport

The application of dance, as a branch of art and social practice within the education sphere has received limited attention by research specialists in the field of educology and psychology. DanceSport as a modern cultural phenomenon is one of the most popular ways to educate a person. A new area of research opens up when choosing education through dance art as a research object. The scientific problem is the lack of evidence-based methodology available to investigate the education of students through partner DanceSport. Further, it is unclear how to reduce a contraposition between dance, as a result of sport performance, and art when traditionally only the methodology of dance technique training is used within Lithuania. The aim of the article is to create a methodology for the education of students through partner DanceSport when preparing them for high-performance competition. (C) 2015 The Authors.
