Programmed aerobic dance is one of the physical exercises that is quite popular these days that is expected can reduce body mass index and waist circumference. Objective : To determine the effect of programmed aerobic dance on body mass index and waist circumference. Method : This pre and post-test experimental study was conducted on 33 female individuals aged 15-30 years of Jenderal Soedirman University Purwokerto, Central Java. Programmed aerobic dance as intervention was given for twelve weeks in Sisca’s Gymnasium. Health status and PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) were assessed before enrolling this study. Body mass index and waist circumference were measured before and after intervention. For statistical analyses, basic descriptive statistics and paired t-test or Wilcoxon analyses were applied for dependent variables. Result : Programmed aerobic dance significantly reduced body mass index from 22, 89 (before intervention) to 22, 34 (after intervention), p < 0,05.
