Latin dance offers a unique dimension that traditional aerobic exercise does not, namely interpersonal communication and interactivity. Dancing may provide additional cognitive benefits compared to other forms of PA, such as walking. Latin dance also provides a unique dimension that traditional aerobic exercise does not, that is, it is a complex sensory-motor rhythmic activity that integrates a variety of physical, cognitive and social factors. Based on the unique charm of Latin dance and previous articles on the influence of dance on social physique anxiety and physical self-esteem, there are few articles on Latin dance, and none of them have studied the influence of Latin dance on these two variables. This study analyzes the Latin dance on the social physique anxiety and physical self-esteem of middle school girls and provides theoretical support for the study to improve the social physique anxiety and physical self-esteem of middle school students, as well as to promote Latin dance. To promote the diversification of Chinese middle school sports in dance teaching.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Social physique anxiety performance of middle school girls
Test by Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS). The Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS) was employed to measure Social physique anxiety. The respondents are asked to rate 12 statements on a 5-point Likert type scale. The anchors are 'not at all' (1), 'slightly' (2), 'moderately' (3), 'very' (4), and 'extremely' (5). Examples of items are: 'I am comfortable with the appearance of my physique' and 'Unattractive features of my physique/figure make me nervous in certain social settings'. Previous research with SPAS has demonstrated test-retest reliability and internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha values of around 0.90.
Measured: Pretest: Before experiment
Physical self-esteem performance of middle school girls
Test by Physical Self-perception Profile (PSPP). The Physical Self-perception Profile (PSPP) is a 30-item self-report questionnaire consisting of five sub-domains, each of which has six items. The sub-domains are: Perceived (1) Sport Competence (Sport), (2) Physical Conditioning (Condition), (3) Bodily Attractiveness (Body), (4) Physical Strength (Strength), and (5) Physical Self-Worth (PSW). Two alternative statements or descriptions of people are presented, from which the individuals can choose the one which best describes themselves, ranging from 'sort of true' to 'really true'. Each item is then scored from 1 to 4.
