Abstract
As a rule, the one needs to select only a few, most capable students from the large fl ow of applicants, seeking to enroll in choreography school. This is a very diffi cult task, given the nature of abilities to manifest only during the activity. The traditional system of selecting students to choreography schools ignores psychologi-cal aspects of the problem. These issues follow from the characteristics and learning conditions of artistic and aesthetic (choreography) activity. This article describes the experience of studying psychological and pedagogi-cal readiness of children to study the art of ballet.
