Breaking boundaries: Enhancing dance learning through virtual reality innovation

Abstract

Virtual Reality technology (VRT) has rapidly evolved in recent years, revolutionizing various industries by providing immersive and interactive experiences. VRT is making a significant impact in the realm of dance teaching (DT). This study explores the innovative application of VRT in the realm of DT, aiming to revolutionize traditional instructional methods. The study data were gathered from 420 college students. The data collected underwent analysis through SPSS software. The results indicate a notable direct relationship between the integration of VRT and enhanced learning outcomes in dance education. This study offers a unique contribution to the field by demonstrating the potential of VRT to develop engaging and dynamic learning settings that surpass the confines of traditional dance teaching methods. The investigation result indicates participants engaged in dance instruction through virtual reality (VR) will exhibit superior retention of dance techniques and choreography in comparison to those instructed through traditional teaching approaches. This study adds to the intersection of technology and dance instruction, highlighting how VR can profoundly transform the arts. It highlights how VR can revolutionize educational paradigms, particularly within the artistic domain. The study demonstrates that integration of VRT into dance instruction correlates positively with heightened levels of student engagement and motivation.
