Реализация принципа социализации в системе профессионального хореографического образования (на примере Московской государственной академии хореографии)

The article examines the implementation of the principle of socialization in the system of professional choreographic education. The process of socialization is considered as a pedagogical condition for the formation of the personality of a future specialist in the field of choreographic art – from a ballet dancer and choreographer-pedagogue to a ballet master, concertmaster, and performing arts manager. The traditions of the Moscow State Academy of Choreography (MSAC), associated with fostering Russian cultural values, not only serve educational purposes but also fulfill a socializing function. The methodological basis comprises the ideas of A.M. Novikov and D.A. Novikov on the structure of scientific knowledge and modern approaches to ballet pedagogy. Using the example of the Moscow State Academy of Choreography, the mechanisms through which socialization is integrated into the educational process are identified: from the acquisition of professional norms to the formation of cultural identity. The analysis of the role of the traditions of the Russian ballet school in social adaptation and the preservation of continuity draws on the concept of A.V. Mudrik. It is concluded that in this type of education, socialization is not an accompanying task but one of the system-forming elements of specialist training.
