Abstract
The relations between rhythmic abilities and dance performance have been established on the sample of 57 male and 47 female undergraduate physical education students. The data related to the rhythmic ability have been obtained by the test composed of three different rhythmic sequences, and the data related to the dance performance have been obtained by the standard procedure for the evaluation of practical and theoretical knowledge pertaining to the course subject Dance. The results of the research have shown that it is to a relatively high degree feasible to predict the dance performance on the basis of the evaluation of rhythmic abilities, while the remaining percentage of the dance performance is probably incorporated in other motor knowledge and abilities.
