In the motor learning literature, the debate as to whether bilateral transfer of fine motor skills is greater from the dominant to the non-dominant side or vice versa is inconclusive and task dependent. To date, the only dance study (Puretz, 1983) showed that bilateral transfer was greater from the non-preferred side. The purpose of this study was to examine the limited knowledge of this concept in dance. Undergraduate female right handed students with no experience in dance, and a second group with at least six years of training were tested on two 16-count dance sequences. Participants were trained on either their dominant or non-dominant side, and asked to transfer the sequence to the other side. Two experienced judges evaluated the correct foot, direction, step, and order of each sequence. The results showed that, although the initial performance of experienced participant was better than that of the novice dancers, both groups showed similar gains in performance with practice. The experienced participants were slightly better in their capability to transfer the sequence to the other side. Surprisingly, there was only a minimal difference between transfer to the dominant or non-dominant side. A subsequent follow-up study examines whether task complexity influences expert/novice differences or right/left differences. Keyword(s): dance, research
