Role of Technology in Transforming Contemporary Ballet Teaching Practices

The integration of technology into ballet education has revolutionized traditional teaching methodologies, creating unprecedented opportunities for enhanced learning experiences and pedagogical innovation. This paper examines the transformative role of technology in contemporary ballet teaching practices, analyzing the implementation of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, motion capture systems, and digital platforms in dance education. The research explores how these technological interventions have reshaped instructional approaches, assessment methods, and student engagement in ballet training. Through comprehensive analysis of current technological applications, this study reveals significant improvements in learning outcomes, skill acquisition, and accessibility of ballet education. The findings demonstrate that technology-enhanced ballet instruction not only preserves traditional pedagogical values but also expands educational possibilities through personalized feedback, immersive learning environments, and innovative assessment tools. The paper discusses challenges and opportunities associated with technological integration, highlighting the evolution from conventional studio-based instruction to hybrid and fully digital learning environments. The research concludes that while technology cannot replace the fundamental human elements of ballet instruction, it serves as a powerful complement that enhances traditional teaching methods and creates new pathways for artistic expression and skill development.
