The article describes the professional and personal qualities of a teacher of a higher education establishment. The main professional qualities of the teacher of choreography are described in detail. The present state of choreographic art and prospects of further development are analysed. On the basis of analysis of scientific literature it is defined certainly most professionally meaningful internals of teacher of higher education establishment. The specific character of pedagogical activity impose, as we have already noted, necessary requirements on teacher which are defined in pedagogy as professionally significant personal skills. The last ones characterize the intellectual, emotional and strong-willed sides of the personality, influence significantly the result of professional and pedagogical activity and define the teacher individual style. A higher education establishment teacher has been always a tutor, however, today education has to be understood as interaction and cooperation between teachers and students in the field of education and their mutual being. The nature of communication between teachers and students has to be humane, democratic, consider traditions of the different people, and be based on universal values. A high school teacher, in particular a choreographer, should set an example for the students. The main professional and personal qualities of a teacher of higher education should be purposefulness, initiative, discipline, demand for oneself and others. The greatest authority among students is a teacher with really deep knowledge, both theoretical and practical, who finds an extraordinary, creative approach to lectures and practical classes, who synthesises different dance styles, deepens the meaningful and emotional content of every movement and gesture. By choosing non-standard solutions to come up the ideas, a teacher-choreographer encourages students in creative searches.

Information technologies provide unique opportunities for higher education faculty to rethink the resources that are available to re-envision their pedagogical techniques. One such promise is the ability of the faculty member to invite virtual guest speakers or experts into the graduate course through web-based conferencing. The virtual guest can host asynchronous interactive discussions with students in the course for a specified period of time. These technologies provide students with the ability to interact with guests in new ways by expressing individual concerns and discussing them without time and place constraints. This paper describes in quantitative and qualitative terms one such experience in a graduate course where three virtual guests were invited to interact with the students over the eleven-week course.

In this paper the author himself tells an auto-ethnographical tale about how he came to read and understand Paul Willis's Learning to Labour (1977) in the late 1970s as a 22-year-old non-qualified junior high school teacher of Finnish ‘lads’ whose parents had come to Sweden as industrial workers in the late 1960s and early1970s. While most of these ‘lads’ came to reproduce class, the author himself continued to higher education to become a ‘class traveller’. Hence, cultural production and cultural autonomy can work in more than one way, even at the very same time.
