Abstract

The present study surveyed 742 people who were participating in life dance at a private dance school or welfare center and analyzed differences in their participation satisfaction, leisure flow and life satisfaction according to participation in life dance. From the results were drawn conclusions as follows. First, according to the genre of life dance, participation satisfaction was significantly higher in Korean dance and dance sports than in jazz and aerobics and life satisfaction was significantly higher in Korean dance than in aerobics. No significant difference was observed in leisure flow. Second, according to the current state of participation, participation satisfaction was significantly higher when participation frequency was 2~3 times a week, the contents of education were very good, the facilities were excellent, and the monthly fee was between 10,000~30,000 won. No difference in participation satisfaction was observed according to place and period. Third, according to the current state of participation, leisure flow was significantly higher when participation frequency was 2~3 times a week, the contents of education were good, and the facilities were satisfactory. No difference in leisure flow was observed according to period and monthly fee. Fourth, participation satisfaction was found to have a significant effect on life satisfaction and leisure flow. In addition, participation satisfaction and leisure flow were found to have a significant effect on life satisfaction. People are led to happiness or satisfaction in their life when they find their role and identity and feel the sense of accomplishment and contentment from their experience in dancing. In this way, life dance is a social, artistic and cultural essence indispensable for people`s happy life. Thus, in building a welfare society, we need to provide and operate high-quality life dance programs that people can access and participate in together.
