Dancing for Health's key factors (joy of movement, resources, unpretentiousness and community) has proven valuable; it is an appreciated method that has been shown to strengthen the health on several levels in many participating young people. A group of about 12 participants meets twice a week for two semesters in a venue suitable for dancing. The group works with choreographies in various dance genres but also with relaxation techniques. The cultural school can be the partner that holds the courses. A study association can also have suitable premises and a trained instructor. To lead a group in Dansa without requirements, an instructor who is trained in the method is required A close collaboration with the student health or a youth clinic makes it easier, as they are the ones who have contact with the target group and can invite and motivate them to participate.
