This article explores the dynamic prospects and challenges that arise in digital-based dance
assessment. In an era where digital technology is increasingly integrated in various aspects of life,
dance is undergoing a significant transformation, particularly in terms of assessment and evaluation.
This research aims to identify and analyze how technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensorbased movement analysis, and virtual reality, can provide new methods of objective and detailed
dance assessment. Through a qualitative approach involving interviews with dance professionals,
analysis of relevant literature, and case studies, this article reveals how technology can support and
enrich dance assessment practices. The results show that while digital-based technologies offer the
possibility of more precise and in-depth assessment, aspects such as artistic interpretation and the
uniqueness of dance expressions cannot always be effectively measured with digital methods. This
article contributes to the discussion on the integration of technology in dance by highlighting the
importance of finding a balance between the utilization of technology and the preservation of
aesthetic and traditional values in dance. In conclusion, while digital technology has great potential
in dance assessment, there needs to be awareness and strategies to overcome its limitations in order
to maintain the integrity of dance.
