“…Other studies that were at the lower end of the distribution were Koch et al (2015a,b) that included an anti-violence training ( d = 0.02) and Ho et al (2016a) that aimed to improve the quality of life of cancer patients ( d = 0.06). On the other side of the distribution, we could observe large effect sizes ( d = 1.8 up to d = 2.96) in the studies of Cruz-Ferreira et al (2015), Biber (2016), Teixeira-Machado et al (2017), and Aithal and Karkou (2018). If we had not recoded the effect sizes from Chiang et al (2016), Pohlmann et al (2017), Teixeira-Machado et al (2017), and Aithal and Karkou (2018) at Level IV, they would have been even larger (up to d = 5.07).…”

Background: Dance is an embodied activity and, when applied therapeutically, can have several specific and unspecific health benefits. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated the effectiveness of dance movement therapy 1 (DMT) and dance interventions for psychological health outcomes. Research in this area grew considerably from 1.3 detected studies/year in 1996–2012 to 6.8 detected studies/year in 2012–2018. Method: We synthesized 41 controlled intervention studies ( N = 2,374; from 01/2012 to 03/2018), 21 from DMT, and 20 from dance, investigating the outcome clusters of quality of life, clinical outcomes (with sub-analyses of depression and anxiety), interpersonal skills, cognitive skills, and (psycho-)motor skills. We included recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in areas such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, autism, elderly patients, oncology, neurology, chronic heart failure, and cardiovascular disease, including follow-up data in eight studies. Results: Analyses yielded a medium overall effect ( d 2 = 0.60), with high heterogeneity of results ( I 2 = 72.62%). Sorted by outcome clusters, the effects were medium to large ( d = 0.53 to d = 0.85). All effects, except the one for (psycho-)motor skills, showed high inconsistency of results. Sensitivity analyses revealed that type of intervention (DMT or dance) was a significant moderator of results. In the DMT cluster , the overall medium effect was small, significant, and homogeneous/consistent ( d = 0.30, p < 0.001, I 2 = 3.47). In the dance intervention cluster , the overall medium effect was large, significant, yet heterogeneous/non-consistent ( d = 0.81, p < 0.001, I 2 = 77.96). Results suggest that DMT decreases depression and anxiety and increases quality of life and interpersonal and cognitive skills, whereas dance interventions increase (psycho-)motor skills. Larger effect sizes resulted from observational measures, possibly indicating bias. Follow-up data showed that on 22 weeks after the intervention, most effects remained stable or slightly increased. Discussion: Consistent effects of DMT coincide with findings from former meta-analyses. Most dance intervention studies came from preventive contexts and most DMT studies came from institutional healthcare contexts with more severely impaired clinical patients, where we found smaller effects, yet with higher clinical relevance. Methodological shortcomings of many included studies and heterogeneity of outcome measures limit results. Initial findings on long-term effects are promising.

“…The inclusion of studies with baseline differences is justified here, because our methodological approach takes those differences into account when calculating effect sizes. The studies from Biber (2016), Guerra-Balic et al (2017), Meric and Ilhan (2016), and Panagiotopoulou (2018) used no statistical tests to assess baseline differences.…”

“…The above result was in agreement with the following studies conducted by proved that Korean traditional dance program improved the health-related fitness of Korean elderly females. Also, Biber (2016) proved that folk dance training significantly improved children"s physical fitness development. More ever (Vordos et al, 2017) revealed that traditional Greek dance significantly improves muscular strength and lower limb endurance.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Tigray regional state traditional dances on health-related physical fitness traits among high school students in Ethiopia. To achieve the purpose of this study, 100 high school students were selected randomly. And their age was 15.5±1.1 years. The selected participants were categorized into the experimental group consists of four Traditional dances that were Awris, Hura, Kuda, and Shediva and the control group with twenty subjects in each. The experimental group performed traditional dances for 16 weeks three days per week whereas participants in the control group were informed to follow their usual daily activity. All participants were tested on selected criterion measures on muscular strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance and body composition before and after the 16 weeks of the training period. The data about the variables in this study were statistically examined using ANOVA for each variable separately, whenever the 'F' ratio of adjusted post-test was found to be significant, the Scheffe's test was used to determine the paired mean differences. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05. Following the 16-weeks traditional dance training, a significant change was observed on muscular strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance, but there was no significant improvement in body composition as compares to the experimental groups with the control group. Therefore it can be concluded that Tigray traditional dance training program can notably improve physical fitness level of high school students.

“…They also evolve spontaneously out of an inner need to express oneself. Many studies (Biber, 2016;Chronopoulou & Riga, 2012;Frid et al, 2016;Han et al, 2003;Howard-Jones et al, 2002;Kiehn, 2003Kiehn, , 2007MacDonald et al, 2006;Morin, 2001;Niland, 2009;Russ et al, 1999;Soley & Spelke, 2016;Sternberg, 2006;Tarnowski, 1999) prove that such a creative approach in children occurs automatically, and, in particular, highlight the positive influence on the common or individual improvisational motivation within the concept of flow in play. All these characteristics -together with improvisation and composition -are pursued by the Slovene curriculum for music education in primary school (Učni načrt za glasbeno vzgojo v osnovni šoli, 2011), which establishes educational objectives in the sense of holistic teaching and defines music as a "cultural phenomenon" (ib., p. 39) and as "an individual's need for an organised acoustic environment, sound-based communication and creativity" (ib.).…”

Through everyday exposure to language and music, individuals within a nation become sensitive to the melodic and rhythmical structure of their folk musical culture. It represents improvisational abilities of individuals and groups as well. Despite all changes, it indisputably maintains all characteristic of music parameters as inheritance of past ages. Due to its social role, it appears throughout everyones life and it also represents an important part of childrens life. In the study that was carried out with two groups of children between six and nine years of age, we were interested in determining how do children experience music making with elements of folk music and how it is possible to create the circumstances which can provide the spontaneity of folk music within the structured environment (like primary school). The research was designed as a phenomenological case study. This method allowed us to gather data which provided a deeper insight into the ways in which participants are able to play using elements of folk music and the way they feel while using such material. The results show that, contrary to the basic fact of spontaneity in folk music, 6 and 7 year old participants were not able to use music parameters to play with and had yet to learn how does the symbolic play on the basis of communication in musical language work out. The most natural way to bridge the gap between learning songs and experiencing individual musical expression in a manner of folk music in children seems to be a creative work with lyrics in Slovene language. We also found that children develop social competences of a great value, when they are involved in a symbolic play with folk music elements in the improvisational mode. Key words: folk music; improvisation; music language; music making
