Abstract:

The article examines the significance of Chinese dance as a factor in the formation of artistic orientations in choreographic education. Theoretical and methodological sources are analyzed that highlight the features of the integration of traditional Chinese dance into the modern educational process, in particular its philosophical principles, the basics of movement techniques and pedagogical aspects. Chinese classical dance is considered as a unique system of the art of movement, which combines rhythm, breathing, internal energy (Qi) and the emotional state of the performer. The emphasis is on the philosophical category of Shen Yun (rhythm movement), which is the foundation of dance traditions and is based on the Taoist concept of cyclicity and unity of opposites: movement and rest, form and content, energy and effort. The article emphasizes the significance of the pedagogical system of Chinese classical dance, which is based on centuries-old traditions and ensures the comprehensive development of students’ technical and creative abilities. The purpose of the article is to investigate the role of Chinese dance as a factor in the formation of artistic orientations in the process of choreographic education. Achieving the goal of ensuring the implementation of the following tasks: to conduct an analysis of scientific-theoretical and educational-methodological sources on the problems of the formation of artistic orientations in choreographic education, taking into account the influence of Chinese dance;to note the genrestylistic features of Chinese dance as a component of the national choreographic tradition; to develop the role of Chinese dance in the formation of artistic orientations of students of choreographic specialties. Separately, the role of performers and teachers who preserve and develop traditions, creating a unique synthesis of technique and deep content, which inspires students and contributes to the development of a multifaceted creative personality, is analyzed. Prospects for further research are highlighted, including: the impact of modern technologies on the educational process and the adaptation of Chinese classical dance in the context of globalization.
