The aim of the article is to determine the leading theoretical and methodological approaches to the teachers-choreographers’ training in the higher pedagogical education institutions of Ukraine. To achieve this purpose a complex of research methods was used: analysis, synthesis, abstraction and generalization, which provided the definition and elucidation of the essence of major theoretical and methodological approaches underlying the training of modern teachers-choreographers. Modern theoretical and methodological approaches to training of specialists in the field of art pedagogy influence the choice of pedagogical strategies and teaching methods.
