SUMMARYStrength is a motor ability that largely determines the features of a move. In the area of conventional sports, that is the very facet that serves as the basis for its importance, which is corroborated by several studies. In sport dance, it is usually demonstrated in the form of repetitive and explosive strength and in the function of introducing nuances in the dynamics of dance performance. How big the importance of some manifestations of strength for the quality of Latin-American and Ballroom dances performance as sport dance disciplines is, is the topic that this paper deals with. The research included 49 sport dancers of both genders, age 12-15. The results of the research point out to the fact that there are different approaches in validation of the contribution of strength for the quality and performance of Latin-American and Ballroom dance. Namely, strength as a motoric ability has statistically significant effects on the quality of Latin-American performance technique, while in Ballroom dances it does not appear to be statistically significant. The obtained differences in the significance of the contribution in the observed dance disciplines are, for sure, a confirmation of the necessity to have an individual approach in planning and programming of training process, particularly for Ballroom and Latin-American dances.Key Words: strength, influence, sport dance. THE IMPORTANCE OF STRENGTH IN SPORT DANCE PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUE INTORODUCTIONSport dance can be described as a specific blend of art and sport, which enables the dance pair, in an original way, to express true emotions provoked by different types of music and mold it into a harmonic mixture of beautiful moves. The skill to link and harmonize complex dance structures of different dances, in space and time determined by rhythm, creates a certain esthetical impression which makes the dancer an artist, as well as the need to show and prove even better. The quality of a dancer's technique and the artistic performance depends on a wide spectrum of motor abilities. To date researches in sport dances have yielded some interesting information on the valorisation of individual motoric abilities in the area of technical performance of certain dance dis-

It is of high interest of a society to explore and support self-employment which is a prerequisite for development of entrepreneurship and, consequently, the growth of economy. Keeping in mind political and economic differences in Croatia, Poland, Serbia and Slovakia, the level of self-employment intentions was investigated among students at agricultural or life science universities in these countries. The self-employment intention level (SEINT) was measured on a scale of 1 to 5. The total sample of 1,156 respondents involved students from Nitra, Warsaw, Zagreb and Novi Sad. The average SEINT value was 2.97, with students located in Novi Sad expressing significantly higher scores than the other three universities. It was found that some of socio-demographic factors are significantly related to the SEINT. However, the main reasons for significant difference in SEINT for Novi Sad students are believed to be due to the differences in macroeconomic conditions in the country.
