Summary

This trial tests whether a 12-week Latin dance program—featuring Rumba, Cha-cha, and Jive—can improve psychological health in primary school children aged 6 to 12. Participants are randomly assigned to either the dance program or regular physical education classes. Researchers will measure changes in loneliness, anxiety, depression, stress, enjoyment, and well-being using questionnaires before and after the program. The goal is to see if dance can be a fun, school-based way to support children's emotional health.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A 12-week supervised Latin dance program (Rumba, Cha-cha, Jive) twice weekly
What this could lead to
If effective, school-based Latin dance could become a simple, fun way to support children's mental health and emotional well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early trial with 60 children, so results may not apply broadly. The benefits might be modest or no different from regular physical education.
