“…Given the similarity of movements, we have consulted numerous literature related to dance. Previous literature has shown that dance is a pathway to enhances psychological resilience 61 ; Another study of chair-based dance intervention for elderly people in a nursing home in Macau showed that the scores of psychological resilience of elderly people improved significantly after receiving chair dance intervention 62 . This indicates that our research findings are similar to previous studies and have positive implications.…”

As the most popular sport among middle-aged and elderly women in China, square dancing has both physical and psychological benefits for menopausal women. Previous studies have shown that square dance exercises can promote the physical health of older women, but there is a lack of research on the influence of middle-aged and elderly women on mental health and mediating variables. Therefore, this study starts with one of the important indicators of mental health—positive affects, aiming to explore the impact of square dance on the positive emotions of elderly women and further explore the mediating mechanisms involved. We send out The Physical Activity Rating Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Satisfaction With Life Scale to a total of 2311 middle-aged and elderly women. SPSS 23 software and PROCESS were used to perform regression analysis and establish mediation models. Modeling results show square dance exercises could positively predict positive affect through the chain mediating effect of psychological resilience and life satisfaction. The results of this study are of great significance for promoting the extensive participation of middle-aged and elderly women in sports and protecting their mental health.

“…Students were also involved in dances for a welcome to the program and when summarising key messages within each PITSTOP. It is widely accepted that dance plays a vital role in transferring cultural knowledge across generations (Buck & Snook, 2020); further, songs and dances are vital avenues for sharing knowledge and preserving and caring for country (Jamieson & Heron, 2009). Having a focus on expression through movement may have contributed to the learning, success and enjoyment reported by students.…”

The aim of this study was to develop, implement and evaluate the novel one-day, school-based health education program Yantiin Kalabara that embedded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and perspectives within a series of interactive learning stations. In consultation with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, the program was designed to encourage healthy lifestyle choices and promote strong, sustainable and mutually respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Aboriginal Australians. It involved five primary schools within the Awabakal, Wonnarua, Darkinjung and Worimi Countries (Australia) in movement-based and culturally rich learning activities. The feasibility of the program for use in primary schools and preliminary efficacy for affecting change in key health behaviours (physical activity, nutrition, screen-time) was assessed using student questionnaires. Yantiin Kalabara was delivered by the Hunter Primary Care team and volunteers. Students reported that it helped them improve their overall health, physical activity, eating habits and screen-time patterns. We have demonstrated that the program can be feasibly delivered in primary schools, and that the program was efficacious in affecting positive changes in key health behaviours of participating children. However, further evaluation in larger and more diverse populations using a randomised controlled trial is warranted.
