Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the state of modern professional training of teachers-choreographers in China. The article presents the authors’ vision of modeling the content of modern professional training of choreographers. The analysis of the existing literature on the topic of the research made it possible to determine the tendencies and patterns of modern professional training of teachers- choreographers. Considering in the study the problems of training teachers of the artistic and creative direction, namely, teachers-choreographers, to solve professional problems, we proceed from the fact that their professional training should be aimed at mastering the teacher’s professional competencies, as well as deep knowledge and skills in the field of choreographic art The rationale for this is the demand for teachers- choreographers in the modern labor market in the field of education - in its various segments (preschool, school, professional, general and additional, as well as in the field of educational leisure). The analysis presented in the study confirms that the content of professional training of teachers - choreographers remains largely at the same level and does not meet modern requirements. The study is devoted to the peculiarities of the organization of the educational process, the content of professional training. Professional training is carried out in the direction of “Pedagogical education” with an appropriate profile, however, in this case, the actual choreographic training of students is significantly limited. We consider it important to note that the art of dancing, which is the subject of professional training for teachers-choreographers, should be considered as an artifact of modern culture, bearing all its inherent features, is the main tool for their professional training. The vector of building an educational cluster is its social demand, which sets the attractors of the development of the content of modern professional training of choreographers and pedagogues. Modern professional training of teachers-choreographers is, first of all, a system of preserving cultural traditions of which students-choreographers master the basis in the learning process, bringing their own understanding and understanding creating their own, new, modern choreographic culture.
