Abstract: This study investigated the effect of reciprocal, self-check, and command TS on the learning and dance performance of Greek traditional dances. A total of 128 university students, were divided into three groups and taught six dances. The reciprocal experimental group, the self-check experimental group and the command control group. A two-way MANOVA indicated that in the Zonaradiko, Tsamiko and Pentozali dances, reciprocal and self-check TS scored higher (p < 0.05) than the command TS on individual criteria and overall performance. In the Xassapia and Tik-Double dances, only the criteria 'dance recognition', 'qualitative movement elements' and 'expressiveness' were superior. In the Enteka dance no differences (p > 0.05) were observed. Similarly, reciprocal, and self-check TS did not differ from each other, except of 'qualitative movement elements' and 'expressiveness' in the Pentozali dance, where reciprocal showed higher values (p < 0.05). The females' dance performance was better than that of male students, regardless of the TS. The use of reciprocal, and self-check TS effectively contributes to the learning of Greek dance. A quality learning environment is promoted, where decision-making initiatives are delegated to students, enhancing the skills of collaboration, observation, heteroevaluation, self-assessment, and self-regulation, necessary in their lives, in general.
