Brief Summary
This study will include dance protocols for targeted therapeutic interventions measuring the effect of line dancing on cognitive, emotional and social well-being. The hypothesis is that participating in a one-hour line dance class once a week for twelve weeks will decrease stress levels and enhance participants' quality of life, as measured by interview survey questionnaires. Questionnaires will be administered at the beginning, mid-point, and end of the study. The objectives of the study are threefold: to quantify the beneficial effects of line dancing on quality of life including cognitive, emotional and social well-being; to identify how non-lifetime, amateur dance practitioners can benefit from dancing; and to demystify dance class and make it accessible to people who are not interested in learning a specific dance technique or concert/art dance. Line dancing is a cross-cultural, intergenerational activity that could fill this role.
