INTRODUCTION
Content
This sport and recreation profle presents inormation about participation in dance (various) among New Zealandadults aged 16 years and over. It is compiled rom inormation collected through the 2007/08 Active NZSurvey and includes:
•participationlevels;•proleofparticipants;•participationpatterns;and•volunteeringlevels.
Methodology
Denition of Dance (Various)
In the 2007/08 Active New Zealand Survey, participants reported whether they had participated in the ollowingdance categories or sport or recreation purposes: ballet, ballroom, contemporary/modern, country/olk/line,cultural/national
1
, hip-hop/break/krump, jazz/tap, latin, social
2
, club/rave/disco, and dance (other). For thepurpose o analyses in this profle, dance (various) includes all dance orms mentioned above with the exceptiono the club/rave/disco dance category. Throughout this profle dance (various) will be reerred to as dance.
Sample
A total o 4,443 adults aged 16 years and over participated in the 2007/08 Active NZ Survey. Among theparticipants, 526 (123 men, 403 women) reported participating in dance at least once during the 12 monthspreceding the interview. The 4,443 interviews (which were completed over a 12-month period beginning inMarch 2007) were stratifed by month and by the 17 regional sports trust catchment areas.
The Survey
The Active NZ Survey (an interviewer-administered, ace-to-ace sel-report survey) consisted o two datacollection tools:
1.asportandrecreationsurvey;and
2. a seven-day physical activity recall diary.The sport and recreation survey was used to collect inormation about participation levels in various sport andrecreation activities. Participants reported the sport and recreation activities they participated in over threedierent timerames: during the 12 months, our weeks and seven days preceding the interview. Participantsreported a range o other sport and recreation inormation including where they participated in activities,participation in volunteering, instruction to improve perormance and involvement in clubs and centres.The seven-day physical activity recall diary assessed the requency, intensity and duration o sport and recreationactivities participated in during the seven days preceding the interview. The ollowing inormation was collectedor each day o the previous week:
1.thespecicactivitiesparticipatedin(e.g.ballet);2.thedayonwhichtheactivitywasundertaken(e.g.didballetonMondayandWednesday);
3. the total time spent participating in each specifc sport and recreation activity (e.g. spent 60 minutes on
Mondaydoingballet);
1 Examples o cultural/national dance are lakalaka, tamure, mako, Scottish, Irish and Dutch.2 Examples o social dance are ceroc, lindy hop, rocknroll and old time.

4. the amount o time spent at a moderate intensity (e.g. o the 60 minutes spent doing ballet on Monday,
30minuteswasspentatamoderateintensity);and
5. the amount o time spent at a vigorous intensity (e.g. o the 60 minutes spent doing ballet on Monday,20 minutes was spent at a vigorous intensity).The inormation rom the diary was used to determine the time spent and the intensity at which adultsparticipated in dance during any one week.
Ethnic Groupings
In the 2007/08 Active NZ Survey, participants were able to identiy with multiple ethnicities. Consequently, thesame person could be represented in dierent ethnic groups (e.g. Mäori and NZ European). Thereore, when thepercentages or each ethnic group are summed they do not equal 100 percent. Ethnic-specifc fndings shouldonly be compared with estimates or the total New Zealand population as comparisons between ethnic groups(e.g. Mäori versus Pacifc) are not valid.
Socioeconomic Position
The NZiDep tool was used to measure the socioeconomic position o participants. The tool consists o eightquestions which assess dierent domains o socioeconomic status. Based on the number o deprivationindicators reported, participants were grouped into one o fve groups ranging rom the least (Quintile 1) tothe most (Quintile 5) disadvantaged socioeconomic group. The fve groups were:
Quintile 1
–nodeprivationcharacteristics;
Quintile 2
–onedeprivationcharacteristicwasreported;
Quintile 3
–twodeprivationcharacteristicswerereported;
Quintile 4
–threeorfourdeprivationcharacteristicswerereported;and
Quintile 5
– fve or more deprivation characteristics were reported.Further inormation about the Active NZ Survey methodology is available atwww.sparc.org.nz/activenzsurvey.
Information Reported
All fndings relate to the New Zealand adult population aged 16 years and over. They are based on responsesrom at least 100 participants and have a relative standard error o less than 25 percent unless stated otherwise.All estimates have been weighted to correct or dierences between the sample population and the generalNew Zealand population. Percent estimates (e.g. 50%) with 95 percent confdence intervals (e.g. 95% CI: 45-55)have also been age-standardised to the 2006 New Zealand adult population. Estimates without 95% percentconfdence intervals represent proportions within the sport-specifc population (i.e. adults who participated in theactivity), and have not been age-standardised.Confdence intervals (CI) have been used to indicate i signifcant dierences exist between dierent groups(e.g. men versus women) in the population. Findings are generally considered signifcantly dierent i there isno overlap between the confdence intervals o the percentage estimates being compared.The Active NZ Survey is a nationally representative survey o all New Zealand adults. The fndings in this profleare not directly comparable with other sources o inormation about dance. This is because methodologicaldierences (e.g. the way data is collected, the defnitions used) contribute to dierences in fndings betweendierent data sources.
