In order to contribute to the development of street dance, This study will investigates a meaningful database and specific analysis on the desired type of labor according to the types of occupation chosen by the college students majoring in street dance. The survey has been designed according to the previous research analysis of the occupation status research and desired types of labor. A total of 302 students majoring in street dance have taken part in the questionnaire. The collected data have been analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistic 18.0 program for the one-way analysis of variance and frequency analysis.

Therefore, we propose that based on the results from this study, subsequent study will need to focus on the target samples to continue the analysis of the desired labor types chosen by street dance majoring students and artists.

This qualitative study explores Korean professional dancers’ experiences in using dance/movement therapy for psychosocial support. Seven participants were recruited from a dance company in Korea. Participants engaged in eight two-hour sessions. Data were gathered through an individual interview, personal journals, and drawings centering on two research questions: 1) What were participants’ experiences relating to psychological well-being in the dance/movement therapy program? 2) What were participants’ experiences relating to job stress? Data analysis revealed four themes: 1) A new positive beginning, 2) Catalyzing growth through inner work, 3) Finding ways to outwardly express themselves, and 4) Importance of interactions in relationships. The result of this study provide insight into how dance/movement therapy can promote meaningful reflection through an inner journey. This study suggests that dance/movement therapy contributes to professional dancers’ psychological wellbeing and personal and professional growth.
