An analysis was performed on quantifiable (numerical) and qualitative (descriptive words/phrases) data obtained from a study of graphs and questionnaires distributed to both the first ('90) and second ('89) year graduate students (respondents) of dance therapy.</p> <p>The results of the data were summarized on three tables evaluating: (1) Emotional response; (2) Student/teacher relationship; and (3) Response to Program Elements in respect to both Past and New Leaders for both class groups. The hypothesis was confirmed that a disequilibrium would occur immediately following the change in leadership, and that over time, equilibrium (balance) would be restored within the system.</p>"}
