To test my hypothesis, a developmental study was designed and approved by the Institutional Review Board. Subjects, ages 14-34, were pooled from the following populations: students from the Mercyhurst University Dance Department and Erie Dance Conservatory, comprised my dancer group, and students from Mercyhurst Preparatory School and the intro to psychology classes from Mercyhurst University made up my non-dancers. It is important to note that both Erie Dance Conservatory and the Mercyhurst University dance department are made up of dancers who are on the professional track only, they not pursuing dance as a recreational activity.
