without technology to seek and find information’s, but now with just a simple

click you can find any information that you're looking for. especially nowadays

that the people become more active in terms of using social media. Because of

information that it provides to help us if there something that we need to know,

like different dancing performance posted online that might help the students to

gain some ideas especially when they have a performance task in physical

education subject. Social media actually benefit the students to learned and gain

more knowledge and to have a new idea on dancing skills they going to execute

when they have a performances. As we observed that the students nowadays rely

much more on social media as their basis when they have a performance on

physical education subject. In terms of taking music, and dance steps on social

media that help students to gain information, to make their performance more

presentable and learned at the same time. That’s why we would like to know the

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Social media has been a significant force in shaping our society today. It

has impacted various aspects of our lives, including how we interact with others,

share information, and express ourselves creatively. One area that has seen a

significant impact from social media is dance. This literature review aims to

explore the influence of social media on dancing skills.

Social media, it's unfiltered every part of our life, our relationships,

travel, work, news, school and entertainment. Technically, social media

include any website or application that enables user to create and share content

within a social network, (Dance Informa, 2016).

The popularity of social media has influenced the field of the arts

including the word of dance as well, this platform allowed dancers to reach

entire crowds throughout the outline surface, (Lanszki, 2020).

Commonly Used Social Media Platforms

Facebook is a social networking site that makes it easy for you to connect

and share with family and friends online. Originally designed for college students,

Facebook was created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg. Today, Facebook is the

world's largest social network, with more than 1 billion users worldwide, (GCF

Global, N.D). Facebook is another social media platform that can impact dancing

skills. In a study by Wang and Chen (2011), they found that Facebook can
Page 5
provide users with a social support system that can motivate them to practice and

improve their dance skills.

YouTube is a free video sharing website that makes it easy to watch online

videos. You can even create and upload your own videos to share with others.

Originally created in 2005, YouTube is now one of the most popular sites on the

Web, with visitors watching around 6 billion hours of video every month, (GCF

Global, N.D). YouTube is also a popular platform for learning and improving

dance skills. In a study by Morris and Stommel (2013), they found that YouTube

provides users with access to a vast amount of instructional dance videos, which

can help them learn new techniques and styles.

Tik Tok is a social media platform for creating, sharing and discovering

short videos. The app is used by young people as an outlet to express themselves

through singing, dancing, comedy, and lip-syncing, and allows users to create

videos and share them across a community, (Webwise, N.D). TikTok has become

a popular platform for sharing short-form dance videos, and many users have

reported using the app to improve their dancing skills. In a study by Zhao and Liu

(2020), they found that TikTok can provide users with a low-stress environment

to practice and showcase their dance moves, which can increase their confidence

and skill level.

Impacts of Social Media to the Dancing Skills

Page 6
 Social media has both positive and negative impacts on the dance industry.

Social media is often credited with increasing exposure for dance, or helping to

engage younger audiences, (Friscia, 2020). Video-centric platforms including

YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are enabling dancers and choreographers to

break out of the shadows and become celebrities in their own right, (Easter,

2020). Social media has given a lot of people the confidence to return to dance

classes and not think that dance is only for a certain body type or look, (World

dance sports, 2020). However, social media can also have a negative impact on

dancers and how they view their career, (Backstage ,2023).

The rise of social media has provided dancers with a platform to showcase

their skills to a broader audience. Social media platforms such as TikTok,

Instagram, and YouTube have become popular among dancers, with many using

these platforms to share their dance routines, connect with other dancers, and gain

exposure. Studies have shown that social media can positively impact dancing

skills by providing dancers with a space to learn new moves and techniques, as

well as to connect with other dancers (Kim & Kim, 2021; Liu, Li, & Li, 2019).

For example, TikTok's algorithm suggests videos based on a user's previous

activity, which can expose them to different dance styles and techniques (Chen &

Zhu, 2021). Additionally, social media can inspire dancers to learn and try new

dance styles that they may not have otherwise explored (Lee & Chiang, 2021).
 Furthermore, social media has allowed dancers to receive feedback and

criticism from a wider audience, including fellow dancers and dance enthusiasts.

This feedback can be instrumental in improving one's dancing skills and

developing one's dance style. Social media platforms also provide a space for

dancers to collaborate and share ideas, leading to the creation of new dance styles

and routines (Kim & Kim, 2021).

However, the impact of social media on dancing skills is not entirely

positive. Social media has also been linked to the creation of unrealistic

expectations and pressures among dancers to perform perfectly and gain

popularity (Chen & Zhu, 2021). This pressure can lead to dancers sacrificing their

physical and mental health in the pursuit of fame and success (Liu, Li, & Li,

2019).

In conclusion, social media has had both positive and negative impacts on

dancing skills. While social media has provided a platform for dancers to

showcase their skills, connect with others, and learn new techniques, it has also

created unrealistic expectations and pressures that can have adverse effects on

one's physical and mental health. Dancers must find a balance between utilizing

social media to improve their skills and avoiding the negative effects of social

media on their well-being.

Different Dancing Skills

According to (Rookie, 2017), the following are the classifications of

dancing skills.

Posture, good posture is important in dance because it provides you with a

strong base to build the rest of the skills, a good posture is the correct formation

of the body where your bones and muscles can hold you upright against gravity.

Alignment, focuses more on the placement of your body, not so much

on the way you are standing, this skills is especially important if you are dancing

with group of the people since you want to be in the right place in order to stay

in sync with the choreographed routine.

Balance, this skills is important because it help you achieve elaborate

moves while dancing keeping your balance will help you stay upright while

performing, allowing you to avoid a slip and falling down, good balance can

also help you expand the type of move s you can execute.

Coordination , being coordinated in dance is some of the most important

skills, you can either be coordinated while dancing alone or in group by your

self , coordination refers to knowing where your body should be and when ,

having good coordination will help your moves look smooth to the audience , in

a group setting, coordination is essentially being in sync with the other

dancers , making the performance look fluid.

Mobility, Similar to flexibility mobility is important because you

will be able to transition from move to move very quickly without much

struggle . Quickness is often a term that goes hand in hand with mobility.

Page 7
 Strength , good dancers possess a lot of strength. mainly in their legs and

arms. This Allows them to push off the floor elegantly and execute moves

without struggle. Dancers also typically have a strong core , as having good

balance is achieved by developing core strength.

Stamina , is very important. especially if you compete in dance

tournaments or long routines . Stamina is the amount of energy that you can

expend during an activity . Having a lot of stamina will keep you in shape during

the routine and keep you from being sloppy .

Extension , often used in ballet, extension refers to the ability of a

dance to raise their leg up to their head. Extension is used in many other

moves in the world of dance . Being able to extend will do you well when it

comes to learning how to dance . Extension and flexibility are terms used

similarly .

Isolation , another vitally important skill to dancing is being able to

isolate . Isolation refers to moving only one part of your body while keeping

everything else still. This will give you rhythm and wow the audience.

According to a study by Koutedakis et al. (2004), balance is a fundamental

skill for dancers, as it allows them to maintain control and stability while

performing various movements. Dancers with good balance can execute turns,

leaps, and jumps with ease, making their performances more impressive. This is

because good balance enables dancers to stay centered and aligned, even as they

move dynamically through space.

 Flexibility is also a critical skill for dancers, as it enables them to achieve

a greater range of motion and execute movements that require a high degree of

flexibility. According to a study by Smith et al. (2017), dancers with good

flexibility can perform splits, high kicks, and other challenging movements with

ease. Additionally, flexibility can help reduce the risk of injury by allowing

dancers to move through a greater range of motion without straining their muscles

or joints.

Strength is another essential skill for dancers, as it allows them to maintain

proper posture, control their movements, and execute lifts and other complex

maneuvers. According to a study by Batson et al. (2016), dancers with good

strength can perform challenging movements with ease, making their

performances more dynamic and impressive. This is because strength provides the

foundation for all movement, allowing dancers to execute steps with precision and

control.

Isolation refers to the ability to move specific body parts independently

from the rest of the body. This skill is often used in contemporary, hip hop, and

other styles of dance that require precise and controlled movements. However,

according to the survey results, isolation was perceived as difficult, unnatural, or

unimportant by some dancers. They preferred to focus on other skills, such as

fluidity, musicality, or storytelling (Johnson et al., 2019).

 Mobility, on the other hand, refers to the range of motion or flexibility of

the joints and muscles. It is crucial for executing movements that require

stretching, bending, or twisting, such as ballet, modern, or acrobatics. However,

some dancers may find mobility challenging or uncomfortable, especially if they

have injuries, anatomical limitations, or lack of training. They may also prioritize

strength, power, or stamina over mobility (Sikorski et al., 2020).

Alignment is the third least favored skill identified in the survey. It refers

to the proper positioning of the body segments in relation to each other and to the

gravity line. Good alignment allows dancers to maintain balance, stability, and

efficiency in their movements, as well as prevent injuries and enhance aesthetic

appeal. However, achieving and maintaining alignment requires a lot of attention,

practice, and body awareness, which may be perceived as tedious or technical by

some dancers. They may prefer to focus on the creative or expressive aspects of

dance instead (Roussel & Morel, 2021).

Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data

This chapter provides an analysis of the data gathered from the study on the

impacts of social media to the dancing skills of selected Grade 12 students. This

chapter presents the results of the survey and interviews conducted with the

participants, as well as the analysis and interpretation of data. The findings of this

study are expected to provide valuable insights into the effects of social media on

the development of dancing skills among the students.

Statement of the Problem number 1: Dancing skills of the selected Grade 12

students

Table 1 shows the ranks of the dancing skills. Based on the survey it

shows that the Flexibility, Balance, and Strength, ranked 1,2, and 3. While

Coordination, Control, Stamina, Posture, and Alignment, ranked as 4,5,6,7, and 8.

The last three was Mobility, Extension, and Isolation, ranked as 9,10, and 11.

Based on the table Flexibility, Balance, and Strength, are the dancing skills

ranked as the highest. While Mobility, Extension, and Isolation, are ranked as the

lowest.

This implies that the Flexibility, Balance, and Strength are the dancing

skills where the social media most impacted based on the survey and the

respondent’s perceptions.

This study supported by Koutedakis et al. (2004) that Balance is a

fundamental skill for dancers, as it allows them to maintain control and stability

while performing various movements. Flexibility, is also a critical skill for

dancers, as it enables them to achieve a greater range of motion and execute

movements that require a high degree of flexibility. According to a study by

Smith et al. (2017), dancers with good flexibility can perform splits, high kicks,

and other challenging movements with ease. Strength, is another essential skill for

dancers, as it allows them to maintain proper posture, control their movements,

and execute lifts and other complex maneuvers. According to a study by Batson et

al. (2016), dancers with good strength can perform challenging movements with
ease, making their performances more dynamic and impressive. In contrast, the

study results that balance, flexibility, and strength ranked as the highest dancing

skills based on the survey. Developing these skills through regular training and

practice is essential for any dancer who wants to achieve success and excel in

their craft (Koutedakis et al., 2004; Smith et al., 2017; Batson et al., 2016). By

prioritizing these skills, dancers can improve their technique, enhance their

performance quality, and reduce the risk of injury.

Statement of the Problem: Social media platforms that are commonly used

by the respondents to improve their dancing skills in Physical Education

subject?

 Table 2 shows the ranks of social media platforms that the respondents

used that impact their dancing skills. Based on the survey TikTok, YouTube, and

Facebook, ranked 1, 2, and 3. While Messenger, Instagram, and Twitter, was

ranked as 4, 5, and 6. Therefore Snapchat, and Viber, ranked as 7, and 8. Based

on the table TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook, are the social media that ranked as

the highest. While Twitter, Snapchat, and Viber, are the social media that ranked

as the lowest based on the survey and the respondent’s perceptions.

This implies that TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube are the social media

platforms that impact the dancing skills.

This study supported by Zhao and Liu (2020), they found that TikTok can

provide users with a low-stress environment to practice and showcase their dance

moves, which can increase their confidence and skill level. In addition, TikTok is

clearly a popular platform. One potential implication of this finding is that TikTok

short-form video format and algorithm-based content recommendations may

make it easier for users to discover new dance trends and techniques. Facebook, is

another social media platform that can impact dancing skills. In a study by Wang

and Chen (2011), they found that Facebook can provide users with a social

support system that can motivate them to practice and improve their dance skills.

YouTube, is another popular platform. One potential implication of this finding is

that YouTube's extensive library of dance content (including tutorials,

performances, and behind-the-scenes footage) may make it a useful resource for

students looking to improve their skills or learn new techniques. YouTube is also

a popular platform for learning and improving dance skills. In a study by Morris
and Stommel (2013), they found that YouTube provides users with access to a

vast amount of instructional dance videos, which can help them learn new

techniques and styles.
