The object of the research is the professional training of future choreography teachers in pedagogical educational institutions of higher education; the subject of the research are pedagogical conditions for forming of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers in the process of professional training; the purpose of the research is to substantiate and experimentally test the pedagogical conditions for training choreography teachers, forming of their interpretive competence; research methods - theoretical methods: study and analysis of the scientific sources of national and foreign researchers in philosophy, pedagogy, art education on the problems of forming of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers in the process of professional training; content analysis of program and methodological literature and state regulatory documents; modelling in order to develop a structural and functional model for forming of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers in the process of professional training; empirical methods: diagnostic ones (questionnaires, surveys, conversations, interviews) are used in order to determine indicators, criteria and levels of formation of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers in the system of higher pedagogical education; pedagogical experiment is carried out to determine the effectiveness of the proposed pedagogical conditions for forming of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers in the process of professional training; statistical methods: quantitative and qualitative analysis of the obtained data using methods of mathematical statistics and analysis of processing and interpretation of experimental results, comparison of indicators of quantitative dependencies between the studied phenomena to formulate conclusions based on the results of the scientific research; the scientific novelty of the research - for the first time: the essence of the concept of the "interpretive competence of future choreography teachers" has been defined, which is a dynamic phenomenon, an integrated system of knowledge, skills and abilities that contribute to the rational implementation of the creative search of the choreographer in the final product of the art of dance with the help of tools of choreographic skills, creative abilities, improvisation, creative thinking, individual style of activity, emotional and value attitude to the creation of an artistically convincing version of the choreographic work; this phenomenon consists of motivational, cognitive, creative, activity-related components which are evaluated by motivation and value-based, cognitive, creative and improvisational, operational and activity criteria and their indicators, which allowed to establish the levels of formation of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers (high, medium, low); we have theoretically justified and experimentally checked the content of the pedagogical conditions (actualization of the professional potential of choreographic training of future choreography teachers; integration of various types of Arts in the process of forming of the interpretive competence; orientation of stage-performing and artistic-creative activities to forming of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers), ensuring the quality of forming of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers in the process of the professional training; we have also developed a structural and functional model of forming of the interpretive competence of future choreography teachers in the process of professional training, which involves the following blocks: methodological and purpose-oriented (goal, tasks, approaches, and principles of the research), content-operational (stages of the research, pedagogical conditions, content, forms, methods, and means of training), and diagnostic-effective (components, criteria, indicators, levels of formation of the interpretive competence).
