“…In Europe, the lessons of dance theory and methodology combined with innovative types of fitness technology to normalize muscle tone, improve coordination of movements, develop flexibility and appropriate posture, strengthen the musculoskeletal system, etc., are important for the formation of a creative and active personality of a modern ballroom dancer.

The objective of this article is to analyze higher art education in ballroom choreography through an examination of current educational trends and a forecast of their utilization. The work employs methods such as comparative analysis, generalization, corporate-pedagogical analysis, analytical-interpretative method, and forecasting modeling. The results assess the specificities of the American experience in teaching ballroom dancing within higher education, European experiences in ballroom dancing instruction, and the primary trends in the development of this choreographic field. Using the gathered information, a theoretical model for teaching ballroom choreography in higher education institutions is formulated, aiming for demonstrably high training outcomes. Innovative stimulation technologies have proven effective, suggesting that their ongoing evolution will significantly impact the advancement of higher choreographic education overall. These cutting-edge sports fitness technologies are poised to play a pivotal role in the training of ballroom dancers, serving as a potent resource to enhance the physical fitness levels of choreographers. The effectiveness of fitness techniques is demonstrated through various aerobic methods, including cardio training and cyclic exercises, as well as distinct dance techniques like Latina, Zumba, oriental dance, among others. Additionally, neurohumoral methods contribute to their effectiveness. In conclusion, it is emphasized that further somatic training, currently utilized in leading European countries, will play an important role.
