Abstract
The SambaFest Dancercise video was developed as a Teaching Guide for dance instruction, with a specific duration of 1 hour allocated for its implementation in class. The study employed a Descriptive-evaluative research design to determine and evaluate the effectiveness of the SambaFest Dancercise video. A Quasi-experimental research design was utilized to analyze the impact of the video on the dance performances of Grade Nine students in their Physical Education (P.E) course. The experimental group received instruction using the SambaFest Dancercise video, while the control group received 1 hour of traditional dance instruction. Random sampling was used to select participants, and the validation instrument assessed the video's content, relevance, acceptability, and instructional aspects. The SambaFest Dancercise video was evaluated as meeting above-standard criteria in these dimensions by a panel of evaluators. Result indicated that students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher dance performance in the post-test compared to their pre-test scores. Furthermore, significant differences were observed between the pre-test results of the control and experimental groups, with the experimental group showing greater improvement. Additionally, the mean gain in post-test results was significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group.
