사회복지무용으로서 커뮤니티댄스의 의미

Abstract

The welfare designed to promote public interests for happy life has taken its root in our life as a social welfare service structure and a (culture & arts) dance education program is provided during the process. The ultimate meaning implied in social welfare is an action plan to resolve the social factors of inequality and to present an alternative solution to promote happiness of individuals or wellbeing and satisfaction. Against this backdrop, this study aims to explore the community dance as a device for social welfare to examine the role and function of dance welfare from a social welfare perspective and the research findings are as follows. The community dance proposed as a public consideration is implemented in social welfare service structure and begins with the involvement of self-determination of a participant as a way of putting dance welfare into practice. Self-expression in community dance plays a role of self-education for the purpose of self-actualization driven by self-determination. Therefore, dance welfare engages in retrospection of happy life through the attitude of self determination that determines social responsibility and judgment by acknowledging and expressing self through the inherent internal structure of dance. The community dance that respects the dignity and potential of participants establishes the culture of respect and consideration in the service system of social welfare and plays a key role in raising awareness of public interests. Social engagement as a necessity of social welfare and a method of practice is the service structure of community dance activated and driven by participation and cooperation of community.
