Senior High School students' pretest results; mean score was 87.52, the standard deviation was 4.67 and the standard error mean was 0.84. While the Senior High School students' posttest results; mean score was 95.87, the standard deviation was 3.24 and the standard error mean was 1.96. A paired samples t-test was conducted to evaluate the impact of the Galaw ng Pilipinas dance routine on student motivation. The results showed a significant increase in the marks of the students’ pretest (M = 87.52, SD =4.67 to posttest (M = 95.87, SD = 3.24), t = 9.1399, n = 31, p= .0001 which is less than 0.05 (two-tailed).
