Coaches’ Perspective on Sustainability and Resiliency in DanceSport Competitions

This study aimed to evaluate the sustainability and resiliency of DanceSport competitions in Region 6 from the perspective of local coaches. A mixed methods research design was employed to analyze the current conditions. The study included ninety-five (95) coaches from Region 6, representing various provinces: sixteen (16) each from Capiz and Antique, twenty-four (24) from Guimaras, two (2) from Bacolod, thirty-five (35) from Iloilo, and two (2) from Aklan. Complete enumeration was used to comprehensively explore sustainability and resiliency in these competitions. Statistical tools such as means, standard deviation, and Pearson’s r were utilized for data analysis. The results indicated that the level of sustainability in DanceSport competitions is perceived as "very high," demonstrating strong support and resources across the region. Meanwhile, resiliency was rated as "high," suggesting that although competitions are generally stable, they encounter challenges in maintaining continuity under adverse conditions. Notably, no significant relationship was found between sustainability and resiliency, underscoring the need for distinct strategies to enhance each aspect independently.
