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 (< 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> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords/> <URLs> <Abstract>https://aaspjournal.org/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=5920&title=Dance Therapy Acceptance __ampersandsign Enthusiasm Through A Wellness Class: A Before-After Study</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
