Abstract

The trance-dancing culture in Israel is expressed by dance parties held in open, rather than closed, spaces. This research wished to investigate the effect of open-air dancing on self-image, body image, and subjective well-being. This is a combined quantitative and qualitative research study, with 72 participants, 25 males and 47 females, ages 18–30. The results indicate a positive correlation between the degree to which young people prefer open-air parties and the level of their body image, but no positive connection was found between self-image and participation in open-air parties. Young people who greatly prefer participating in open-air parties report a higher level of subjective well-being.
