This study compares two methods of teaching a dance technique class to determine which yields a greater increase in high school students’ technical skills. The historic, widely accepted method of teaching a dance technique class is through direct, teacher-centered instruction. However, current research, largely on undergraduate college students, suggests that student-centered instruction may be more effective. In this experimental study a group of high school students (n = 23) received standard, direct instruction, while the intervention group (n = 24) received student-centered instruction. All students took pre- and post-performance assessments and were scored on a skill rubric. Analysis of these assessment scores indicated a statistically significant increase in students’ technical abilities in both the direct instruction group and the intervention group, however, the experimental group was not found to be more successful than the control group. The results of this study found that future research on this topic should include teaching students how to give and receive feedback before entering a student-centered curriculum structure.
