Abstract
The purpose of the study is to consider the dance culture of the provincial nobility of the Tambov province of the late 19th – early 20th centuries. From the standpoint of a culturological approach, the evolution of ballroom culture in Russia as a socio-cultural phenomenon based on the relationship of family, public education and upbringing of young people of the Russian provincial nobility is analyzed. The curricula and programs of educational institutions of the Tambov province are analyzed: the Noble School Building, the Government Men’s Gymnasium, the Pitirimovskaya Gymnasium, as well as private educational institutions: the Ptashnik Gymnasium, the Music School, the Catherine Teachers’ Institute, the Alexandria Institute of Noble Maidens, the Diocesan Women’s School and others. The importance of the main characteristics of the dance evening and its functional significance for Russian society is determined. The role of educational institutions of the Tambov province in the choreographic training and education of the provincial nobility is established. Public, merchant, and private balls are characterized. The changes of ballroom dance determined by socio-cultural processes in Russian culture and education are considered. The conclusion is made about the need to revive the dance ballroom culture and fill it with regional peculiarities, its own character and content, traditions, rituals, beliefs. The role of dance culture in the preservation of aesthetic values in modern society is determined.
