Generally speaking, coordinative abilities are the necessary abilities to optimally manage situations requiring fast and rational action, being very important in accident prevention. Coordinative abilities are the basis for adequate sensorial-motor learning. Specialised literature deals with general and special coordinative abilities. General coordinative abilities are the result of a multifacetted training in various motor actions or sports branches. Therefore they are manifest in different areas of daily life by the fact that certain motor situations are treated creatively (according to Harre, Deltow, Ritter – 1984, quoted by Tudor V., 1999). Special Coordinative abilities are mostly developed in disciplines characterised by rich technical variety. Starting from the premise that dance is a complex sport and its practice at the highest level presupposes the optimal development of psychomotor skills, the present study aims at evincing the importance of accurately knowing the components of coordinative abilities and the methodological aspects at the basis of their development in dance.
