This study aims to explore a proprioception neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)-based physical training model to improve dancers' movement quality in terms of coordination, strength, flexibility, and body control in various dance movements at the KIG Dance Community. A qualitative research paradigm with a descriptive method was used to explore the initial condition of dancers' movement quality and its impact on improving participants' movement quality as well as dancers' experiences and perceptions. Data was collected through direct observation, interviews, and analysis of physical tests, including measurements of dancers' flexibility and strength. The results of the study indicate that dancers experienced a significant improvement in movement quality. The training lasted for 8 sessions, with each session focusing on a specific type of PNF exercise, such as hamstring, quadriceps, inner thigh, back, and shoulder contraction-relaxation exercises. The PNF method applied in this training proved effective in improving participants' movement quality, with evaluation results showing that participants experienced a clear improvement in their movement abilities in both contemporary and traditional movements.
