The subjects of this study were five students who are in their 40s and 50s attending Department of Dance in “Y” University, one graduate from “S” university, and one “Myeongmu Hobby-Holic”. Data were obtained from the subjects in a total of 3 times, 20 minutes each in depth interview and written questionnaires.
The results of the study are as follows:
The Concept of Dance: The concept of dancing described by participants in traditional Korean culture and Older Students is a person who has already met some degree of self-satisfaction obtained by the long-dreamed commitment of dance. The sense of fulfillment has made other challenges and attempts to shake, and that was to join a major being a senescent college student. It was the best choice to overcome the throbbing slackness of the untrained person even though when they were pouring economic investments and various efforts for ten years.

Second, the dignity as a majors by referring to finding leisure time in busy life in dance study is requisite. This again shows the attitude change due to the ascent of status. Third, it shows a marked increase in the attitude of mutual relationship between people. Which is self-anticipated behavior of identity change.
The intrinsic traits were shown to fill in, trying to achieve a more complete self-realization. In addition, due to the satisfaction of acquiring expertise, there was a strong willingness for academic desires for more expertise and try to overcome the less stressed and less trained academics than young people with “more endeavor”.
Overall, the characteristic that dancing brought was a lot of effort to achieve both internal and external growth by changing the status as a major.
The Meaning of Dance: Both the participant and the Older Students gave a cue to the relationship between dance and him or herself, and the changes brought by dance. They felt dancing as a life partner with warmth like family.

I will become a strong woman with a healthier physical body and spirit and try to sustain the vitality of the dance with me.
