Abstract (english)

The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between motor abilities and the rate of efficiency in performing folk and social dances of 80 female students at Faculty of Kinesiology. Efficiency in dancing was represented by the marks given to the subjects after performing each dance by five experts on the basis of a video recording. The variables’ sample to determine motor abilities consisted of the results achieved by measuring motor abilities of coordination, realization of rhythmical structures, balance, movement frequency, flexibility and explosive strength. Statistically significant relation between a predictor set of the students’ motor abilities and the overall dancing efficiency criterion (R= 0.58), predictor set and the folk dances efficiency criterion (R=0.63) (p<0.01) was established by the means of regression analysis. The students with a higher level of rhythmic abilities, coordination, flexibility and movement frequency will be more successful in performing dancing structures.
