One of the key objectives of the ongoing national education system reforms is to upgrade the existing academic physical education system. Objective of the study was to test and analyze the basic movement coordination qualities in 18-20 year-old female students of non-sporting university using the following tests: basic movement coordination; movement spacing and timing; static balancing skills; dominant lateral hand movement; new motor skills mastering ability; and the motor adaptation (execution complication, reshaping and revision) ability tests. The Experimental Group and Reference Group tests rates were dominated by the “under median’ values. Knowing the research finding on the movement coordination and psychomotor qualities being closely correlated, we offered an efficient coordination qualities improvement method dominated by hip-hop dancing elements to complement the physical education curriculum at the non-sporting university. It should be noted that hip-hop was formally listed with the other sport disciplines in the national Ministry of Sports Register albeit is still underexplored. Some analysts tend to rank it with the modern fitness aerobics practices. We would consider the modern hip-hop an independent sport discipline highly beneficial for physical progress on the whole and the coordination building purposes in particular. It is also important that the dancing style is highly popular in the academic youth culture – and this was the reason for us to rate its practical benefits for application in the physical education service at non-sport university.

Keywords: coordination qualities, physical education, students, hip-hop.
