Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the emotional experiences of youth in dance activities. For this purpose, nine youth participating in dance activities were selected as research participants, and the emotions of youth experienced in dance activities were explored based on phenomenological research, which is one of the qualitative research methods. Data collection consisted of open-ended questionnaire, in-depth interview, and participatory observation, and the collected data were categorized through inductive category analysis. Youth experienced experiential and relational emotions according to the breadth of emotions in dance, and the emotions was divided into surface (sensational and interpersonal emotions) and inner (existential and communal emotions) level according to the depth of emotions. Each emotion was mixed at the empirical level and revealed at the same time, making it difficult to distinguish clearly. However, classification at the logical level according to the level and depth of emotion and the contextual difference of emotion generation provided a clear discussion of the youth emotional experiences. Experiential emotions were closely related to personal experience, and relational emotions were more closely related to interpersonal relationship with the other person. In addition, the surface level of emotions acted as a key pathway for the inner level of emotional experiences, and the inner level of emotions were closely related to the educational growth of youth. Emotional experiences of youth in dance activities has educational implications in terms of the importance of 'emotional integration' in youth dance education and the necessity of practicing youth dance education through understanding the 'relationship of emotions'. Based on the results of this study, suggestions were made for the practice of dance education and follow-up research for youth emotional cultivation.
