Study Arms (2)

BAILAMOS© Dance Program

EXPERIMENTAL

BAILAMOS© Dance Program + Maintenance Program: includes a 4-month twice-weekly adoption phase and a 4-month twice-weekly maintenance phase. Each month during adoption a new dance style is introduced by a professional dance instructor. During the 4-month maintenance phase an indigenous dance leader, trained by the professional dance instructor, will lead dance with participants twice per week

Behavioral: BAILAMOS© Dance Program

Health Education Control Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Health Education Control Group: Sedentary older Latinos randomly assigned to the health education control group will participate in classes developed for older adults and offered by the University of Illinois Extension. All classes are conducted in Spanish by extension staff using Spanish-language materials. Classes will meet one day per week for two hours, to provide equitable social contact as the treatment group.
