The use of technology in dance education has received considerable scholarly attention, particularly in movement acquisition. However, many studies focus primarily on the application and importance of technology for improving students’ dance performance, leaving a gap regarding its integration with traditional tools like mirrors. This quasi-experimental study examines the combined effect of mirrors and Self-Recorded Video (SRV) on students’ dance performance, creativity, and perceptions toward the effectiveness of the method. Data were collected from 46 students through performance and creativity tests, along with a closed-ended questionnaire. A paired sample t-test revealed that the combination of mirrors and SRV significantly improved dance performance (p = 0.003). Furthermore, a significant difference in creativity was found between the combined method and the use of SRV alone (p = 0.031). Survey results confirmed that the integrated approach helped students construct their own dances, correct movements from multiple angles, and practice audience engagement. © 2026 by the authors.
