The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of education programs on dance performance in youth sports dancers. Fifty-four subjects (aged 9-11 years) volunteered to participate in a 12 wk education program and were randomly assigned to three groups. The experimental group one (EG-1) trained in Dance sport 2 d.wk[superscript -1] and performed physical training (i.e. track and field athletics, games, relays, and rhythmic gymnastics) 1 d.wk[superscript -1]. Experimental group two (EG-2) trained in Dance sport 2 d.wk[superscript -1] and performed aerobics and aerobic gymnastics exercises 1 d.wk[superscript -1]. The control group (CG) dancers developed their Dance sport-specific technical and tactical skills 3 d.wk[superscript -1]. Training occurred 3 d.wk[superscript -1] for a total of 54 hours. The dancers' anthropometric and physical fitness characteristics, as well as Dance sport performances were measured pre and post-intervention. No significant differences were observed at baseline between the three groups, except stature in EG-2 (p > 0.005). At post-intervention, the supplemental education sessions improved Dance sport performance scores of EG-1 (p = 0.004, n[superscript 2] = 0.673, P = 0.943) and EG-2 (p = 0.001, n[superscript 2] = 0.778, P = 0.996) dance pair; no change was observed in Dance sport performance in CG-1 (p = 0.622, n[superscript 2] = 0.032, P = 0.074). The application of Dance sport training combined with supplemental education improves development of Dance sport performance in youth sports dancers.
