The Role of an accompanist within working on classical dance

Abstract

The article defines the role of an accompanist when working on classical dance. The main directions of accompanist activity, the algorithm of classical dance classes, the skills that an accompanist must have for successful work in the choreography class, a set of training exercises in the work of an accompanist on classical dance, and features of musical accompaniment in exercise are presented. The effectiveness of the concertmaster in the process of working on classical dance depends on a number of his professional performance qualities and the level of awareness in the field of classical exercises. Especially important is the ability to carry out stylistic improvisation in compliance with the requirements of a particular genre. At the same time, the accompanist can also act as a popularizer of music, selecting and constantly updating musical samples and, by agreement with the teacher, briefly telling applicants about the artists of different national composer schools and eras.
