The effects of a visual model and knowledge of performance on dance skills

The influence of two methods of providing information to women, ages 19.5 that were novices and learning the basic cha-cha dance figures, was examined. One group (N=19) received information by watching a model expert ; with second group (N=19) information was provided as verbal perspective feedback or knowledge of performance and in the third group (N=18) those two sources of information provided were interact in a learning situation. Acquisition in the beginning and in the end of the motor stage of learning process and retention (two weeks later) of seven basic cha-cha dance figures was measured. Results based on this measure in acquisition test showed that all three sources, without significant differences (ANOVA) of information provided sufficient information for subjects to improve their performance and to achieve comparable levels of skill. But, according to results obtained in retention test, only a visual demonstration are insufficient source of information necessary for developing a memorial representation of the skill (cha – cha basic dance steps) in novices.
