The purpose of the present study was to clarify the psychosocial skills acquired through classical ballet practice, and to examine the relationship between those skills and goal orientation in a classical ballet context. We carried out an investigation using 57 items related to psychosocial skills and 15 items related to goal orientation, prepared specifically for this study. The participants in the survey were 165 learners (mean age 14.38 years) from ballet classrooms all over Japan. Factor analysis identified 5 factors for psychosocial skills acquired by putting an effort into classical ballet practice, and and learners with both strong mastery-goal orientation and performancegoal orientation acquired a high level of these skills. In contrast, those with no clear goal orientation acquired a low level of skills. In addition, it was shown that different types of psychosocial skills were acquired according to differences in the types of goal orientation.
