The objective of this research is to find out the relationship between dance ability and dance stress, by examining the dance ability, which expresses the dance-related self ability and by finding out the different level of stress, which is caused by individual and environmental problem in dance education, considering different backgrounds factors such as major and experience. The result of the examination of the average dance ability according to the background factors showed that there was a definite discrepancy on audience evaluation and dance ability, for the major aspect and there was a little discrepancy between high experience group and low experience group in the aspect of development level and parents evaluation. In the aspect of perceived ability factor, parents evaluation and dance ability showed the most average discrepancy. In order to find out the dance stress discrepancy on the middle school dance majors, on their major, experience level, perceived ability, we conducted a statistic analysis on dance stress level based on those 3 background factors. There was no meaningful discrepancy in statistics between stress factors according to the majors. This results can be understood as no discrepancy in stress levels caused by the dance majors. There was a meaningful discrepancy in statistics between stress factors according to the experience levels. This means that there is a different stress level caused by experience level. There was a meaningful discrepancy in statistics between perceived dance abilities. This means that there is a different stress level caused by their different level of abilities. In order to find out the relationship between dance ability and dance stress, a regression analysis was conducted by designating subordinate area(audience evaluation, development level, parents evaluation, dance ability, colleague evaluation) as the conformity factors, and by designating 6 factors(academic pressure, department instruction, instruction dissatisfaction, basic instruction, achievement pressure, body shape dissatisfaction) as prediction factors. Audience evaluation, parents evaluation, and dance ability factors all showed a relationship with achievement pressure. In addition, the colleague evaluation factor had closest relationship with achievement pressure, basic instruction, academic press, and academic pressure, respectively. However development level factor showed no relationship with any subordinate factors of dance stress. These results showed that the subordinate factors of dance ability were the cause of various stresses.
