A Comparative Assessment of TAGteach® and Video Self-Evaluation on Increasing Fluency of Dance Movements
Abstract
Dance coaching and education is a rapidly evolving field both within behavior analysis and
in other disciplines. Previous behavior analytic research in dance or similar athletics has
demonstrated the effectiveness of video feedback/self-evaluative video feedback and
TAGteach® separately. However, there is no published research comparing these two
interventions. The present study applied an adapted alternating treatment design to
examine the effects of TAGteach™ versus self-evaluative video feedback in improving the
accuracy of dance movements in beginner level dance students. All participants
demonstrated a visibly greater increase in skills paired with TAGteach™ compared to
skills paired with video self-evaluation.
