Abstract	This study aims to biomechanically analyze common errors in front handspring execution among contemporary dancers, addressing the integration of gymnastic elements into dance performances. By enhancing the understanding of biomechanical aspects influencing front handspring execution, it seeks to identify challenges and develop improvement strategies. Employing a qualitative approach, the research involved student-performers from the contemporary dance program at Davao del Sur State College, using in-depth interviews and video recordings. The Code of Points in Women's Artistic Gymnastics provided standardized evaluation criteria. Analysis revealed common errors, including inadequate arm extension, excessive knee bending, improper hand placement, insufficient leg extension, arched body positions during flight, and overly bent knees during landing, significantly impacting performance quality, balance, control, and overall execution. The findings highlight the importance of proper body alignment, particularly during initial positioning and takeoff, with vertical alignment in the handstand phase and a tight body position during rotation being crucial for controlled movement. The study emphasizes the need for targeted training exercises, biomechanical feedback through video analysis, and specific coaching strategies to address these errors. By addressing common errors and implementing targeted training strategies, coaches and dancers can improve front handspring execution, enhancing performance and reducing injury risks, thus contributing valuable insights for training programs and choreographic innovation at the intersection of contemporary dance and biomechanics.
