This study examined the effectiveness of TikTok micro-learning in enhancing the contemporary dance execution of Grade 12 students at Ilocos Norte College of Arts and Trades. Twenty students participated, divided into an experimental group using TikTok and a control group following traditional instruction. The intervention lasted eight weeks and involved structured lesson planning, video creation, teacher feedback, and student reflection. Performance was assessed using an observation rubric evaluating Formation/Blocking, Sequence of Steps, Beat, Style, and Work Ethic on a four-point scale. Results showed significant improvement in the experimental group, with post-test means indicating excellent performance in Formation (3.33), Sequence of Steps (3.58), Beat (3.58), and Style (3.25), while Work Ethic improved moderately (2.33). The overall mean increased from satisfactory (1.59) to excellent (3.43), and independent t-test results confirmed the statistical significance of these improvements. The findings suggest that TikTok effectively supports technical skill development, creative expression, and confidence in contemporary dance. However, teacher supervision remains crucial to maintain discipline and work ethic. The study recommends integrating digital micro-learning platforms into performance-based education to enhance engagement and learning outcomes.
