dc.description.abstract Poor timing negatively impacts the overall quality of dance performances. The study's objective is to enhance dance timing performance through scaffolded cognitive-psychomotor protocols like mindfulness exercises, imagery, metronome-guided movements, ramp walking, and fitness dance. This approach offers practical strategies for improving timing skills and coordination among students with limited rhythmic abilities, benefiting Physical Education professionals and dance instructors. The study employed a unique combination of a case study design involving five first-year college students with beat-deafness, alongside an embedded quasi-experiment approach. The investigation focused on enhancing timing performance using these protocols, evaluating participants' timing across dance choreographies at varying tempos (80, 100, 120, and 140 beats per minute). Over 14 weeks, the study incorporated protocol implementation, warm-up/cool-down exercises, and monitoring sheets, combining descriptive tabular presentation and thematic analysis for comprehensive data analysis. The findings indicate a limited impact of body scan mindfulness and imagery protocols on timing, while locomotor movement with a metronome, ramp walking, and fitness dance demonstrated varied degrees of improvement. Notably, ramp walking and fitness dance exhibited potential for substantial timing enhancement, contrasting with the limited effects of body scan mindfulness and imagery. Thematic analysis confirmed the positive impact of cognitive psychomotor protocols through themes such as physical, mental, and socio-emotional regulation, coordination with music, cognitive development, and improved physical fitness. In conclusion, the study underscores how cognitive psychomotor protocols improve timing performance and well-being dimensions. Although case studies provide valuable insights, their limitations necessitate mixed methods approaches for future research, combining diverse methods to gain a broader perspective on the topic. en_US
