The purpose of this research study is to investigate how peer learning can have an impact
on students’ engagement in the dance technique class, using second year dance students
from a university in the UK. The research design aimed to investigate how the Dance
Buddy Scheme used at this university manifested itself in the students’ learning
experience in the technique class, and qualitative research methods were used to gather
and interpret the data collected. The findings indicate a positive effect on students’
engagement in the dance technique class shedding light on the importance of
collaborative learning and the development of critical thinking in Higher Education.
