Youth and kids with hear loss in Bosnia and Herzegovina don’t have many chances in professional way to expose their artistic abilities and affinities. This case is especially in dance art, which is strictly reserved for people and children without any difficulties. If we look on world dance practice, we can see dance troupes and theaters which gather persons with hear loss, visual impairment, persons in wheelchair and even persons with some intellectual disorders.
This paper will show learning process of contemporary dance still, divided in three basic phases, and necessary techniques for developing dance abilities with children with hear loss in age from 7-14. Those techniques were used in dance workshops, which in period of only one moth and 15 days show that 25 children with hear loss can learn contemporary dance techniques without any problems and with larger number of dance workshops can develop their dance abilities on professional level.
