Abstract

To conduct scientifically reliable research, a set of methods was used: analysis of literature and sources, chronological approach, comparison, etc. Scientific novelty. Scientific novelty consists in identifying the features of the pedagogical school in the field of male ballet performance in Ukraine. Conclusions. The training system of Ukrainian ballet dancers is based on a research approach, which is based on knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, the principles of continuity and consistency. The construction of a classical dance lesson by Ukrainian teachers (V. Kruhlov, V. Denysenko, V. Parsiehov, M. Priadchenko, V. Kovtun, etc.) contains the traditional scheme of alternating exercise at the "stick" and in the middle of the hall, jumping. Particular attention is paid to mastering the postures of classical dance and the introduction of "leitmovement" into the work, which are used in all structural parts of the lesson. The experience of the representatives of the Russian performing school of ballet has proved that the level of their mastery depends on the continuity in the transmission from generation to generation of the invaluable experience of academic choreography, which is provided by teachers. Thanks to innovative approaches in teaching, Ukrainian performers have always distinguished themselves by virtuoso mastery of the technique of classical dance, high plastic expressiveness and a deep dramatic component.
