DANCE STEPS: DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN MORE AND LESS SUCCESSFUL 7 - YEAR OLD GIRLS

On the sample of 55 seven - year - old girls the applicability of two newly constructed tests for the assessment of the knowledge of polka and waltz dance steps performance was researched. Five referees, through the video record, on Likert's five-point scale did the assessment of success for each test. The referees' objective assessing and their good correlation can be noticed in both tests so that the authors recommended them to be applied in practice when assessing the knowledge of dance steps performance in physical education (PE) teaching with seven year old pupils. The structure of discriminative function shows the motor superiority of the second, rhythmically better cluster, in relation to the first, less successful cluster of seven year old girls. A satisfactory level of dance steps acquisition and a faster process of learning are the best with the examinees having a pronounced coordination in rhythm, above average speed of movements and explosive strength.
