Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week program combining modern dance with mindfulness practices can improve psychological wellbeing, reduce stress, and increase happiness in recreational adult dancers. About 160 participants will be randomly assigned to the program or a waitlist. The program includes weekly 90-minute sessions with breathing exercises, dance techniques, and journaling.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Dance-Mindfulness Intervention (behavioral)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a fun, accessible way to improve mental wellbeing and stress management for adults who already dance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial in healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to the general public. The program requires a 12-week commitment, and benefits may vary.
