Sažetak

Different dance structures, such as social dances, folklore, rhythmic gymnastics and others, are part of physical education curriculum in the first four grades of primary school. One of the social dances is majorette dance, which combines some elements of other dances into one dance structure. Majorette dance is a specific dance structure that is performed with a majorette baton or a pom-pom in a distinct uniform. Like all other dance basics, majorette dance affects the development of kinanthropological characteristics in students. This is precisely why it is beneficial to include elements of majorette dance in the physical education program. Practicing and repeating these dance structures primarily develops a sense of rhythm and dynamics; improves students’ kinesthetic faculties; promotes correct body posture, which is an essential component of this dance structure; and also develops creativity and movement expressiveness. By encouraging the development of all these abilities in a child from an early age, both health and proper overall motor development are directly impacted. Based on all the benefits and characteristics of majorette dance as one of the dance structures, the implementation of this type of dance elements in physical education classes is perceived as interesting and motivating by students, and provides an interactive way to expand their fund of motor knowledge and to increase the level of motor skills.
