This is a prospective-longitudinal, almost-experimental, exploratory-descriptive study with a quantitative approach, which assessed the beneficial effects of senior dance on the quality of life and incidence of pain in 12 elderly women who participated in 8 weeks of dance. The results showed a statistically significant difference in 6 questions of the Short-Form Health Survey and reduction of pain intensity in almost all body segments, according to Corlett's Rating Scale.
