Recent neuroimaging evidence has suggested that expert dancers have stronger activation than novices in areas of parietal cortex while watching dance. The role of parietal cortex in the processing of spatial information could suggest that expert dancers are more attuned than novice dancers to spatial cues while watching dance. Instead of focusing on the perceiving of the expert, this study sought to extend the findings from neuroscience by assessing what is consciously perceived by the expert. Twelve expert and 12 novice dancers watched a 30 s contemporary dance phrase and then completed a questionnaire that assessed memory in four different categories: Shape, Space, Time, and Effort. Results showed that, overall, experts recalled the phrase with greater accuracy than novices. It was further shown that there was a statistically significant difference between novices and experts in accuracy of recall in the category of Space. This difference was not present in any of the other three categories. Implications on deliberate practice in dance education and the broader role of spatial awareness in theories of simulation are discussed.
