ABSTRACT

This paper studies major considerations in applying positive psychology to dance education, focusing on the differential traits of the professional group and the public group. Goal, motivation and psychological trait of the two groups are fundamentally different. Thus, each factor of PERMA needs to be applied differentially. For professional dance education, engagement(E), meaning(M) and attainment(A) need to be emphasized as its purpose is to train professional artists who prioritize artistic beauty over daily happiness. Meanwhile, positive emotion(P) and relationship(R) are fit for public dance education as its goal is to promote daily happiness. Thus, the design of positive dance education needs to reflect these differences. The professional dance education program should focus on challenging goals for dancers in order to promote engagement and attainment while the public dance education program is for amicable environment and relationship.
