Purpose: to identify the features of improving the coordination abilities of young athletes at the stage of initial training in dancesport. Material and Methods: a set of scientific research methods was used (theoretical analysis, systematization and generalization of scientific literature; pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing). The experimental part was attended by 10 sports duets of the first year of study (7-8 years). Were formed two groups (control - 5 couples and experimental - 5 couples). Results: due to the use of experimental techniques, selection of tools and the optimal combination of loads, taking into account the age characteristics of young athletes, the differences between the arithmetic mean values obtained in the experiment are considered plausible. When conducting a research to determine the development of coordination abilities by means of dancesport, the probability (P) of obtaining similar results (when the arithmetic mean values of the experimental groups are higher than the control) is more than five percent significance, or less than 95 cases out of 100. Conclusions: the developed method of improving the coordination abilities of young athletes in the process of sports dances provides reasonable provisions for the targeted use of elements for the development of coordination abilities in young athletes, solves the main tasks of the stage of initial training in sports dances, sensitive period of coordination sports.
