Activities of teaching and learning:
Main teaching and learning methods: practical activities, teaching (explanation, demonstration of dance moves, narration, illustration), studies of literature, audio, video and other sources of information (demonstration, review, analysis, interpretation), active listening, use of students’ personal experience, data collection, project preparation, group work, group discussion, performance of practical tasks, creative exercises (brainstorming, mind maps), preparation and presentation of written works (reports), study portfolio, observation, presentation of personal experience, reflection, providing feedback.
Preparation and defence of the final work (creative project).
Main forms of contact work: individual and group theoretical and practical classes, consultations, rehearsals, independent work.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Assessment is an integral part of the study process and is, therefore, carried out on a regular basis through assessing and evaluating students’ independent work, presentations and individually-prepared tasks. Students’ knowledge is also assessed by the results of practical tasks, tests and exams.
The evaluation of student’s performance is based on a cumulative grading system, i.e., the final grade is composed of the evaluation of intermediate tests and the final examination.
Methods of assessment of study results: formative (work during group and individual sessions) and cumulative (summative) assessment: intermediate assessment, testing, oral and written survey, presentation of projects, reports; presentation and defence of the final work (project).
The evaluation of the examinations and the defence of the Final Thesis is based on the 10-point grading system. The tests are evaluated on a pass-fail grading system.
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Subjects (modules) of the field of the study programme; general university subjects; optional subjects; internship; final art project.

Distinctive features of a study programme:
This is a unique first-cycle study programme available in Lithuania that educates professional dance art specialists. From the third year, it is possible to choose alternative (entertainment, folk, performative) dance study subjects.
During the study process, the integrated teaching model is applied. In the programme, in addition to the subjects of the main (dance) field of study, subjects of other fields – music, theatre, and pedagogy – are studied.
The students are taught by the most prominent Lithuanian dance artists and scientists, and there is constant cooperation with well-known professional dance art specialists from abroad.
The programme has integrated minor field studies in Arts Pedagogy.
Access to professional activity:
Graduates are able to work as performers or artistic directors of dance groups in various cultural institutions and amateur and professional dance groups and initiate private and project activities of dance education and the creation of new groups.
Upon completion of the integrated minor field studies in Arts Pedagogy and having obtained a teacher’s qualification, graduates can work as teachers in various formal and informal and/or specialised educational institutions.
Access to further study:
Graduates have the right to enrol in the second-cycle programmes of dance and other study fields, if this is foreseen in the admission requirements of the chosen study programme.
