Abstract

The topic entails examining the impact of cross-training on coordination abilities, performance level, and individual differences among dancers in the Philippines, emphasizing the positive impact of cross-training on improving dance skills and performance, particularly coordination abilities, and making recommendations for promoting inclusive training environments and personalized approaches within the dance community. According to Creswell (2014), quantitative research design entails exploring a social or human problem by testing a theory with measurable variables and assessing the results statistically to determine whether the theorys predicted generalizations are valid. This study will use a quantitative research approach to collect data from respondents for statistical analysis and to generate results. Cantrell (2011) describes descriptive-comparative research as a quantitative research method that aims to distinguish between groups within a population without acting to change the independent variable. Using the descriptive-comparative technique, one can determine the amount of perception of cross-training for dance by examining and contrasting diverse groups of dancers or individuals involved in dance instruction from varied demographic backgrounds. This survey would include 30 respondents who are dancers in Davao City. Data  analyzed using a customized questionnaire. The data analyzed using the mean and ANOVA.     The findings show that respondents have high levels of coordination ability, performance level, and individual variances in their participation with cross-training for dance. It is worth noting that females have much superior coordination ability than males. These findings highlight the need of taking gender disparities into account in dance training programs. While sex influences coordination abilities, age, gender, and year level had no significant impact on performance level or individual differences among participants, according to the data for SOP 3. This emphasizes the significance of addressing gender discrepancies in coordination abilities, as well as recognizing consistent performance and individual heterogeneity across demographic parameters in dance training settings. According to the data and findings presented, a general advice would be to adjust dance training programs to participants various requirements and skills, with a focus on gender-related disparities in coordination abilities. Furthermore, it is recommended to retain a focus on improving overall performance while acknowledging and accepting individual heterogeneity across distinct demographic profiles. Regular evaluation and adjustment of training approaches can help to improve the effectiveness and inclusivity of dance training programs for all participants. Dance training programs should be tailored to meet various demands and gender-related variances in coordination abilities, while also maximizing overall performance levels and embracing individual heterogeneity across demographic profiles.
