Abstract
This study would empirically analyze the impacts of the belly dance instructor’s transformational leadership, nonverbal communication, and coaching knowledge on trust in the instructor and dance commitment perceived by belly dance participants. To do so, this study surveyed the participants who participated in a belly dance class and completed collecting a total of 345 effective responses. Based on the data collected, this study conducted a structural equation model analysis, using SmartPLS statistical analysis software. Accordingly, the specific statistical analysis results are as follows. First, the belly dance instructor’s transformational leadership and nonverbal communication had statistically significant positive (+) impacts on trust in the instructor perceived by belly dance students. Second, the belly dance instructor’s nonverbal communication did not have a statistically significant impact on trust in the instructor perceived by the belly dance students. Third, trust in the instructor perceived by the belly dance students had a statistically significant positive (+) impact on dance commitment. Fourth, in the path from transformational leadership through trust in the instructor to dance commitment, trust in the instructor had a mediating effect. Also, in the path from coaching knowledge through trust in the instructor to dance commitment, trust in the instructor had a mediating effect.
