What it does not show
The study was done in a catering service company, so it may not apply to other workplaces. The participants were employees, not patients, so the paper does not show how a therapist would treat a clinical population. The dance teachers were not professional, so the quality of the exercise may have varied. The paper does not report blinding or a primary outcome, and it measures turnover intention rather than actual turnover.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the dance results as proof that standard dance prevents employee turnover or treats mental health disorders. The study measured turnover intention in employees, not actual turnover, and the terror and paranoia factors did not change significantly.
