Teaching strategies such as modeling, verbal cues and mental imagery have been regarded as important mediators of the learning process. This review has the goal of revisiting the classical studies of motor learning as well as current literature focusing on learning and the use of these strategies in dancing. The goal of the review is to focus on practical ways to implement the use of these strategies systematically in dance instruction. This review concludes with critical insights on how this theoretical framework can be applied in everyday practices of dance teachers.
