The population in the United States over 65 years of age is currently 39 million, which is approximately 13% of the total population. It is projected that by the year 2050, people in this age group will comprise as much as 20% of the population. Studies have shown that the most significant factor in successful aging is physical fitness, and that exercise is a key to longevity, with both cognitive performance and emotional health being enhanced through adherence to exercise programs. This qualitative study embraced social constructivist theory and involved interviews with 14 healthy older adults (age 65 and over) who participated in exercise through tap dance classes. The study explored the effect of tap dance classes on their lives---their energy, balance, cognitive skills, emotional state, and social activity. This study explored the experience that tap dancing provides for the class participants (both positive and negative) and the effect of the dance experience before, during, and after class sessions. Data were collected through open-ended interviews, then identified and coded into categories to find categorical links and an integration of the categories into central themes. Positive experiences and effects from dance class participation were discovered in physical, cognitive, emotional, and social areas. Information gathered in this study could be significant when developing health programs for older adults; dance programs could effect social change within communities as they create an awareness of the effectiveness of dance as a positive element in successful aging.
