| 4. | Description | Abstract | DanceSport is a unique blend of artistic expression with athletic performance, requiring synchronized movements, strong partnerships, and effective communication between dancers. Despite its dynamic nature, challenges such as interpersonal conflicts, psychological stress, and inadequate partnership dynamics frequently affect performance. This study explores the influence of dance imagery, experience motivation, and psychological mechanisms on the performance and relationships of DanceSport athletes. Employing a quantitative descriptive correlational design, data were collected from DanceSport couples in Region XI, Philippines, through surveys. Quantitative findings reveal that athletes exhibit high levels of dance imagery, particularly in technique, mastery, and goal-setting, which enhance their ability to visualize and execute complex routines. Experience motivation, especially in personal development and entertainment, emerged as a key driver of sustained engagement and resilience. Regression analysis showed that 64% of the variability in psychological mechanisms could be attributed to these factors, which include obligatory instrumental ties, expressive ties, and interpersonal perception. This study underscores the need for incorporating imagery training and motivational strategies into coaching to enhance performance, improve partnerships, and reduce burnout. The findings provide a framework for educators and coaches to develop evidence-based interventions, fostering resilience and long-term engagement among DanceSport athletes. Future research should extend these insights to a broader population for deeper exploration. |
