In the learning process, the teacher always invites students to interact, but only a few students respond.The students responding are almost always the same while the other students only read the group because they are not familiar with learning using WhatsApp. Related to assignments given, the students always do well even though the materials provided by the teacher are incomplete. Every assignment can be done because students can search for answers by browsing the internet. Thus, students can add information that has not been given by the teacher.Keywords: Use, Whatsapp Group, Dance Arts
