Sociology of dance. Differences of audience by classical and alternative dance performance
Zilvarová, Daniela ; Duffková, Jana (advisor) ; Buriánek, Jiří (referee)
Sociology of dance is one of the young and marginal disciplines of sociology. The reason is that its topic - dance - hasn't been a subject of any scientifical attention yet. Systematic research has developed since 1980s mainly in Great Britain, where Helen Thomas is considered to be the greatest authority in the field of sociology of dance. Because of only recent development of this science, there are many topics that haven't been explored yet. Such is the case of dance audience, which makes an important part of theatrical dance. The topic of my thesis is therefore the research of dance audience. I would like to compare spectators of two different types of theatrical dance - ballet and contemporary dance. For the research I have chosen the most important dance theaters which represent both dance types - the National Theatre for ballet and the Ponec Theatre as a scene for contemporary dance. The easiest, cheapest and most effective method of collecting data was to use a questionnaire, which was distributed to everyone who entered the theatre. Finally I had the opportunity to analyze data from 737 respondents.

Zilvarová, Daniela ; GREMLICOVÁ, Dorota (advisor) ; NĚMEČKOVÁ, Elvíra (referee)
The thesis provides a survey of the profession of a dancing master in Bohemia in the 20th century with overlap to the present. The author continues the research of the profession of dancing masters she started in her bachelor thesis, where this topic was explored in the context of the 19th century. This master thesis deals with the input assumptions an individual had to fulfill in order to be officially considered as a dancing master. Particular aspects related to organizing dance courses are covered as well (dancing master as the main organizer in his dance school or without it, or dancing master only as a pedagogue while someone else organizes dance courses). The profession of a dancing master is analyzed in the context of particular activities in which dancing masters of 20th century were involved. The aim was also to gain an idea about the social status and the prestige of the dancing master?s profession.

The Profession of a Dancing Master in the 19th century Bohemia
Zilvarová, Daniela ; Gremlicová, Dorota (advisor) ; Kazárová, Helena (referee)
The thesis provides a brief survey of the profession of a dancing master in the 19th century Bohemia. Considering the wide territorial and temporal scope of the theme and difficult access to relevant sources the author's primary focus was Prague in the latter half of the 19th century. The thesis deals with demands an individual had to meet in order to become a dancing master.
An analysis of the profession in terms of activities associated with it is provided too; not only a dancing master was a pedagogue, he often acted as a promoter of dances at dance fetes, as a choreographer and sometimes even as a composer. A special attention is given to the institution "Klub tanečních mistrů v království Českém", unifying dancing masters at the end of the 19th century. The author also deals with questions and origin of usage of significant titles of dancing masters (Provincial, Estates). A brief outline of the impact of women on the profession of a dancing master is provided too.
