In this paper, virtual reality technology is applied to dance teaching as an auxiliary means to improve learners’ immersive experience, learning interaction, learning efficiency, and break through the limitation of time and space by means of dance movement assessment, interactive feedback, and construction of virtual environment. Taking the students of a dance academy as the research object, we designed the dance teaching mode based on virtual reality technology for 16 weeks, and used correlation analysis, questionnaire, regression analysis and other methods to explore the actual teaching effect of this mode. It was found that the mean value of each question in each dimension of the questionnaire was higher than 3. There was a significant positive correlation between the use of virtual reality technology (0.741), immersion (0.782), interaction (0.745), and learning effect (0.642) with learner satisfaction. There were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of learning interest (P<0.01) and dance movement mastery and skill (P<0.05).
