Performing one’s own folk dances is understandably easier to do for reasons of familiarity; but it’s quite different when the folk dances are of foreign origin. Given the latter, determining the performers’ proficiency level likewise requires some unique appraisal. Cognizant of this peculiarity, this paper sought to fill in the gap with what is required in judging such a performance. Utilizing a Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, the performances of the respondents were evaluated using a researcher-made rubric that was first subjected to content validation to measure the students’ performances in the execution of the different basic foreign folk dance steps. The results showed that learners' performance in the pretest and posttest was statistically different. The students who participated in the study yielded an increase in performance, specifically, in learning foreign folk dance. There is no significant interaction between teaching and learning style in terms of its effect on learners' performance towards foreign folk dance. Thus, student performance cannot be attributed to the learning style and how the learner is being taught. It is recommended that text and illustration be adopted when teaching foreign folk dance although teaching the students through demonstration, audio, and audio and video are also beneficial in terms of increasing student performance.
