Flexibility is the range of motion of muscles and connective tissue at a joint or group of joint. This study used a quantitative method utilizing descriptive-comparative approach to measure the level of flexibility in dance among high school students. The respondents of the study were thirty grade 9 learners from a secondary school in 3rd District, DepEd Division of Davao City, Region XI. This study is anchored on the theory of Social Learning theory by Albert Bandura (1986) which self-efficacy seeks to explain the individuals belief in their capabilities to execute the actions necessary to achieve specific goals. In the context of flexibility, enabling you to stretch and increase range of motion as a dance performer, you will be able to execute dance steps with greater ease and control, leading to smoother and more polished performances. The study adapted and modified the Survey on Stretching Practices Questionnaire in collecting the data and were analyzed using the mean and analysis of variance. The questionnaire has passed through reliability testing which resulted in Cronbachs alpha score .77 which means reliable. The mean result of the highest indicator in the level of flexibility training was general stretching practice perceived as high which indicates that the learners flexibility is often evident for the reason of warm-up. In conclusion, in the context of the study the test of difference in the level of flexibility training when analyzed across the profile of the respondents in terms of age and gender do not have impact among high school students. It is recommended that the strategy is to enhance a flexible stretching program with or without dance sessions to avoid injuries in a year and improve the excellence of being a dancer.
