THE IMPACT OF NON-FORMAL ARTISTIC DANCE EDUCATION ON THE COMMUNICATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL ABILITIES OF ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

The impact of non-formal artistic dance education for adolescents communication and organizational abilities is a relevant issue that should be explored. The aim of this research was to determine the impact of non-formal artistic dance education on the communication and organizational abilities of 12-13-year-old adolescents. The results showed that adolescents engaged in non-formal artistic dance education meet better communicative and organizational abilities. Most dancers have a "higher than average" and "high" level of these abilities. Adolescents, who did not attend any non-formal artistic classes, were mostly at the levels that complied with lower communication and organizational abilities. To sum up, we can say that the activities of non-formal artistic dance education undoubtedly affect communication abilities of 12-13-year-old adolescents.
