Nedvídková, Marie ; Hurníková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Jiřičková, Jiřina (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on a design of an annual teaching plan for a musical and dancing afterschool program for elementary school students. The aim of the thesis is to present a dance style called "clogging" (American country step) and to present a methodology for teaching its basics, in which emphasis will be placed not only on getting acquainted with elements of this style, but also on the musical development of pupils. The diploma thesis was intended as a possible inspiration for the leaders of dance clubs who aim to teache their pupils not only to dance but to perceive the music sensibly and to work with it as well. It also coul serve as an inspiration for music teachers who would like to make their classes special or devote themselves to leading a musical and dancing afterschool program with an unusual focus. The theoretical part presents the development of children of younger school age, music and movement education and familiarization with the history and basics of clogging technique. The practical part presents the teaching plan of the musical and dancing afterschool program, which consists of a description of eighteen lessons that contain an offer of music and movement activities for one term and include the use of clogging elements.

Folklore Revival Movements in Europe post 1950. Shifting Contexts and Perspectives.
Stavělová, Daniela
This collection of papers emerges from a symposium on the folklore revival movement of the second half of the twentieth century which was held in Prague in October 2017. As the current findings of ongoing research in this volume demonstrate, across Europe, the performance and investigation of folklore revival movements, especially music and dance, is of vital interest and relevance to understanding their manifestation in the second half of the twentieth century. This present collection opens the door to further critical examination of the power of such cultural practices, their political salience, whether at national, institutional or individual levels, and their deep-seated impact on people who have encountered and evaluated folk revivalism in their lives.

The dancers were subjected to body composition measurements on a Tanita instrument (Tanita Corporation, Japan) and then postural stability measurements on a FootScan pressure plate (International, Belgium). 4 tests were used to evaluate the level of postural stability (narrow stand with eyes open and closed - 30 s, stand on the right and left lower limb - 60 s). The evaluated parameters of postural stability were the total travel way (TTW) of the center of pressure (COP). The arithmetic mean was used to express the level of postural stability, and the T test was used to determine the statistical significance of the differences, and Cohen's d was used to...

Dance profession from the perspective of aspirational work. The impact of the romanticisation of work and the gendered labour market on the dance profession
Hřebačková, Barbora ; Kobová, Ĺubica (advisor) ; Dvořáčková, Jana (referee)
Dance profession from the perspective of aspirational work. The impact of romanticisation of work and gendered labour market on the dance profession Abstract In professions motivated by love, there is an easy overlap between leisure and work time, which is also the premise of the ideology of romanticization of work, which seems to be the solution to the constant search for work-life balance. When work becomes a passion, the problem seemingly disappears. The promise of a future spent doing what we enjoy motivates us to devote time and energy to an activity that will hopefully turn into a profession. However, work motivated by love has a self-exploitative and individualising potential, where discussion of poor work conditions and low pay becomes secondary. This paper explores the effects of the romanticization of work in the dance profession, the way it is shaped by aspirations for future success, and how the gendered labour market translates into the working conditions of male and female dancers. Based on interviews with dancers working in the Czech Republic and Belgium, it explores what their work entails, what motivates them and how they perceive their working conditions Keywords: Dance, work, dance profession, romantization of work, aspirational work, insecurity, gender, gender representations, precarity
