The experimental group was conducted three times a week for 16 weeks. The data were calculated using the SPSS(24.0) statistics program to calculate the mean value(M) and standard deviation(SD) for each variable. To investigate main effects and interaction effects, you performed a two-way iterative ANOVA and set the post-comparison with the significance level to less than 0.05. The result was a significant increase in the main effect(p<.001) of Woo-Ri dance exercise on changes in K-MMSE as a marker of cognitive functions, and in the case of controls, the main effect was significantly reduced and the interaction effect(p<.001). For six functional fitness tests, the main effects of Woo-Ri dance exercise(p<.01, p<.001) was shown respectively, and in the control group, the main effects(p<.05, p<.01, p<.001) The interaction effects (p<.001) with were shown. Based on the results of the study, Woo-Ri dance exercise improves muscle strength, flexibility, balance, agility, cardiopulmonary endurance, and cognitive function.
