Abstract
This study examined the impact of dance and movement training on the life satisfaction of older adults. Members of the experimental group participated in weekly dance and movement classes for 8 months. A matched comparison group was selected Members of both groups were pretested using a global measure of life satisfaction and the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale. Analysis of covariance revealed significant positive changes in life satisfaction in the experimental group when compared to the matched group (p = .05). Observations and verbal comments support these findings.
