Resource Title K-pop dance challenges: the effects of practice distribution on dance acquisition
Date Issued January 2024
Abstract Dance challenges have been among the common social media strategies being taken advantage of in order to facilitate more interaction online and to gain popularity. Despite being short in duration and usually having movements that are ideally easy to follow, novice learners may still find difficulty in learning the choreography, especially that of a typical K-pop song, due to how fast the tempo can be. In motor learning, practice distribution, which considers the proper allotment of actual practice (work) and rest for optimal skill learning, has been a topic frequently explored. While previous literature on practice distribution in learning sports have presented mixed results, scant literature has explored practice distribution in learning dance. This study aimed to explore the effects of practice distribution (massed and distributed) within a session on novice learners in acquiring a K-pop dance challenge, and to determine which of the two practice distribution schedules would be better. A sample of 10 novice learners in dance were subjected to follow a massed and a distributed practice schedule in order to perform two K-pop dance challenges on two separate days, but acquisition test results showed no significant differences after statistical testing, which implies neither practice distribution schedule to be better than the other for acquisition of K-pop dance challenges.
