The data was analyzed using the percentage formula.  The results of the study show that the implementation of learning plate dance practice with the application of the peer tutor method can improve student activities and learning outcomes. In the first cycle, there are the results of the group practice test, each group still has its group members who have not reached the completion score. In the first cycle, students obtained an average of 71.4 with a fairly good category. With the details of students who got a complete score of only 14 people equal to (46.8%) and students who did not complete it also 18 people were equal to (56.2%). In this second cycle, students obtained an average of 83.4 in the very good category. With details of students who got a complete score as many as 30 people equal to (93.7%) and 2 people equal to (6.2%) who have not received a complete score. The peer tutor method has proven to make it easier for teachers because of the help of peer tutors. With this method, students who are initially afraid or reluctant to ask the teacher will feel more comfortable asking the tutor, who is their peer, thus increasing their confidence. For students who play the role of tutors, this method is an opportunity to train themselves, responsibility, and patience. In the application of this method, students are divided into several groups, each guided by one tutor.
