“…So, it could be said that dancing movements strengthen self-esteem (Bunce, 2006;Kowarzik, 2006;Paulson, 2005a;2005b). In agreement with our study, other studies that used dance programs found that the elderly people who participated in them improved their self-esteem and their mental state and assessed more positively their personal value, their competence and their relationships with others, compared to the control group that lived a sedentary lifestyle (Berryman-Miller, 1988;Kim et al, 2002).…”

“…It can, therefore, be said that the participation in physical activities, in the form of Greek dances, leads to increased emotions of selfesteem. Similar results were found in a program of practice with movements of traditional Korean dances, as moral satisfaction, improvement of self-confidence and of psychological state were observed in old women participants (Kim et al, 2002). Furthermore, Berryman-Miller (1988) found out that the 8-month application of a dancing program to individuals aged 55 to 85 years old, affected their self-esteem and well-being positively and led to mood state improvement.…”

“…The importance of self-esteem is great, since people with high self-esteem are in a better mental state and evaluate more positively their personal value, their competence and their relationships with others (Berryman-Miller, 1988;Kim et al, 2002). In addition, people with high self-esteem have fewer health problems, enjoy themselves and participate in a wide variety of activities, feel certain for their ability to deal with difficult situations despite failures and obstacles, are more flexible and adaptable to changing situations, they are also happy, energetic, enthusiastic and enjoy life (Kleon, Wilson, 2007).…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of a single bout of Greek dances on the self-esteem of old people. A hundred and twelve subjects, (89 women and 23 men), 65-88 years old, were separated to an experimental group (n=55) which participated in Greek traditional dances and a control group (n=57) which was discussing and watching television, both for one hour. The State Self-Esteem Scale (Heatherton, Polivy, 1991) was used to measure performance self-esteem, social self-esteem and appearance self-esteem. The scale was completed about 5 min before and after the Greek traditional dances' performance and the discussing and watching television session. For data analysis, descriptive analysis, the non-parametric test Wilcoxon of the SPSS ver. 17.0 for windows was used. After dancing, significant increases in performance self-esteem (z=-5.92, p<0.001), social self-esteem (z=-3.16, p<0.01), as well as appearance self-esteem (z=-3.90, p<0.001) were observed. Likewise, no significant difference in control group was observed. Consequently, from the present results it can be said that Greek dances, as a form of physical activity, is an effective factor for the improvement of elderly people's self-esteem.

“…Nine of the 15 training studies were categorized as being Level II (Eyigor et al, 2009;Federici et al, 2005;Hackney et al, 2007;Holmerová et al, personal communication;Hopkins et al, 1990;McKinley et al, 2008;Shigematsu et al, 2002;Sofianidis et al, 2009;Young, Weeks, & Beck, 2007), with the other six training studies being Level III-V (Engels et al, 1998;Jeon et al, 2005;Jeon et al, 2000;Kim et al, 2003;Kudlacek et al, 1997;Song et al, 2004).

“…Across these 18 studies, a variety of dance forms and outcome measures were used. Of the 15 training studies, the most common forms of dance were traditional Korean (Jeon et al, 2005;Jeon et al, 2000;Kim et al;Song et al) and aerobic (Engels et al; Hopkins et al; Shigematsu et al) dance. Aerobic power, muscle endurance and strength, and static and dynamic balance were the most commonly assessed outcome measures.…”

Dancing is a mode of physical activity that may allow older adults to improve their physical function, health, and well-being. However, no reviews on the physical benefits of dancing for healthy older adults have been published in the scientific literature. Using relevant databases and keywords, 15 training and 3 cross-sectional studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. Grade B-level evidence indicated that older adults can significantly improve their aerobic power, lower body muscle endurance, strength and flexibility, balance, agility, and gait through dancing. Grade C evidence suggested that dancing might improve older adults' lower body bone-mineral content and muscle power, as well as reduce the prevalence of falls and cardiovascular health risks. Further research is, however, needed to determine the efficacy of different forms of dance, the relative effectiveness of these forms of dance compared with other exercise modes, and how best to engage older adults in dance participation.
