To examine that the induced-image could influence the expression of body movement and it could be useful to expand movement repertoires in CP children, two boys and a girl aged 8 years participated in a 9-week dance-centered program regulary a week. During the first 3 weeks, the task was how to express two types of movement which had certain differences in its quality, followed by the mirroring in the next 3 weeks and the creative activities in the last 3 weeks. In this study we discussed the first part of this program. The body expressions for two different types of movement were compared before and after that session. The kinematical analysis showed that the subjects could become to move cooperatively using the trunk and the extremities with advancing the program and it resulted to expand their kinesphere in contrast to using the limited part of body segments before the program. All subjects could differentiate two types of movement clearly by means of these changes. These results suggest that the dance-centered program had a significant effect on the gross motor development and the expansion of movement repertoires or polishing up the quality of movement in those who have some difficulty in following a fixed motion or in verbal communications.
