      <Abstract>The objective of this study is to determine the acceptance and the relationship of dance enthusiasm before and after a wellness class as well as the changes after the class particularly in the understanding and promotion of dance therapy. This study adapts a before-after model through a wellness class and a cross-sectional method is also used to assess the before-after changes and the rest of the study variables. Results show that acceptance is high at 70% for dance therapy as Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and its practitioner as a healthcare professional, dance enthusiasm significantly increased as well, however, the before and after variables show that generally there is no significant difference (p= 0.072 with 0.05 level of significance) except in understanding (&lt; 0.001) and promotion (0.019) variables. It can be concluded that more sessions must be conducted for development of dance therapy as a single class only improves understanding and promotion. Other CAM therapies may also be introduced based on the responses from the participants; these are poetry and recreational therapies.</Abstract>
