We analyze the current state of research on the formation of aesthetic taste of young people by means of dance. The article briefly describes the theoretical foundations of the formation of aesthetic taste. An overview of the methods of forming aesthetic taste by means of dance is made, and the practical application of the techniques is analyzed. The results of the author's empirical study on the subjective opinion of participants and leaders of dance groups on the formation of aesthetic taste by means of dance are presented. Generalizations of these observations indicate that schoolchildren testified mainly to high and average results, reproducing various emotional states, creating expressive associative movements, and assessing their own emotional state. For the most part, schoolchildren did not experience difficulties in expressing emotions in motor exercises; some of them clearly understood and reflected the internal state of plastic solution. The results confirmed the adequacy of the expression of emotions and feelings in dance movements and emphasized the high level of the psychophysical sphere of students. The observation and survey revealed sufficient formation of students' theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the lexical language of dances. Most teachers have identified the importance of forming the aesthetic taste of schoolchildren by means of dance. The formation of aesthetic taste by means of dance will be more effective if the forms and methods of dance classes are aimed at stimulating emotional-improvisational, psychophysical, and active-creative manifestations of schoolchildren. The problems and prospects for solving the problem of forming the aesthetic taste of schoolchildren by means of dance are also outlined.
