The purpose of this study is to systematically review on discussions of dance therapy and related programs for people with dementia. In addition, to explore clinical trends and to seek new ways of working. The method of study revolved around literature review. Starting in July 2018, researchers looked at the study of dementia related to past dance. To explore Korean research, keyword search looked over academic journals and academic papers called ‘dance and dementia’ and ‘dementia dance’and ‘dementia dance’ for overseas research. In Korea, there are only about 20 studies related to the study, but overseas research was limited to recent research due to its extensive research volume. Other studies of past dementia, which need to be confirmed by sources, were also partially reviewed. This also links to the limits. It says that overseas research is so broad that it targeted only about 30 recent studies that can be accessed with full text and limited to the last three years of research. It is hoped that this study will be used as a basis for further research discussion and implications on dementia and as a basis for practical research. It is believed that one will be able to examine the future as well as the future by examining the current state and meaning of research on the elderly with dementia related to dancing. To review recent studies based on literature studies, this will help to secure quantitative data while also providing basic information needed in the field of senior citizens and education in Korea. We hope this study will serve as a forum to discuss on the developmental direction and potential of the study of dementia.
