The Influence of Psychological Ability on the Performance of Sports Dance

Abstract

The expressive force of sports dance refers to expressing an athlete's interior emotions during sports dance performances or competitions through body language and facial expressions. This study is conducted to determine the effect of psychological quality on the on-stage performance of sports dance students and to promote the continuous development of their psychological quality. Eighty students from the 2017 level Latin dance program at the Art College of a City Physical Education College served as experimental subjects in a teaching experiment utilizing the quantitative method. They were divided into experimental and control groups for comparative experiments. After the investigation, the scores of students in the experimental group regarding movement emotion tendency, body shape, facial expression, movement arrangement, and music accomplishment were compared with those in the control group and students in the experimental group before the experiment. The p-value reached 0.00, indicating that the difference was highly significant. Enhancing the efficacy of sports dance is predicated on developing psychological qualities and temperament. This study concludes that cultivating special attributes in sports dance must adhere to the principle of incremental progress and cannot be accomplished overnight.
