Practice and modeling are common approaches to teaching motor skills. Qualitative and quantitative feedback have also been used to improve complex skill learning. The purpose of this study is to determine if providing real-time kinematic feedback in addition to traditional training will enhance skill acquisition of unskilled dancers when compared to traditional dance instruction alone. Two groups of dancers participate in testing and training protocols including a traditional group and a biofeedback training group to examine differences between the two teaching methods. Significant differences were found due to time for knee flexion and hip rotation. Significant differences due to training group were found at one time point for knee flexion. The main finding of this study was that the addition of biofeedback had a limited effect on skill acquisition on beginning level dancers. / School of Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science
