Cynthia R. Abellar, Margarita Teofe A. Solis

Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of explicit instruction in teaching street and hip-hop dance among Grade 10 students at Pagsabungan National High School, Mandaue City, during the 2019-2020 academic year. Using a descriptive method with 106 participants, the research evaluates student performance across key dance styles-B-boying, Popping, Locking, Krumping, Tutting, Shuffling, and Waacking-and gathers student feedback. The results indicate that explicit instruction significantly enhanced performance outcomes and student engagement. The study concludes with a proposed instructional guide and recommends wider adoption of explicit teaching methods in Physical Education to foster better psychomotor learning outcomes.
