Sažetak
The main goal of the conducted research is the importance of kinesiological activity of a child at an early stage of development that can influence the development of basic biotic motor skills for manipulation of objects through the performance of dance majorette structures. The development of these skills is most intense in childhood, so it is recommended to use such activities as often as possible in working with children. Through the work, all the benefits of dance for the child, family, but also the whole environment and community are described. Majorette is a social dance with special elements and steps in which props such as batons and pom poms are used. Each majorette team is recognizable for their special uniforms consisting of a hat, jacket, skirt and boots. It is often said that they are „only living souvenir of the city“ because of their uniqueness and beauty. The basic aim of the study was to determine are there statistically significant differences from initial to final measurements in simple tests of motor skills in majorette dance, performed by children of younger preschool age. The research was conducted in the kindergarten “Križevci” on a sample of 15 children (9 girls and 6 boys) aged 3.8 to 4.5 years. Two examiners evaluated the five basic elements of the majorette dance at the beginning and end of the six-day dance program, children were rated with grades from one to five. A t-test for dependent samples was used to determine the difference. The results show that after a six-day of majorette program, there were statistically significant drifferences in the performance of majorette elements in all five tests (p <0.00).
