The purpose of this study is to explore the narrative of dance activities of a dancer with developmental disability. For this purpose, one dancer with a developmental disability was selected as a participant in the study, and an in-depth interview was conducted. As a result, the narrative about the dance activities of a dancer with developmental disability largely came down to three stories. First, the research participant, Boram, experienced the process of getting to know himself through dance. He became aware of his preferences and formed an identity as a dancer. Second, he was living in harmony with others through dance. For Boram, a dancer with developmental disability, dancing meant living with others, and through this, he was expanding the scope of his social activities. Third, he was setting goals and challenging himself through dance. Dancing became a motivation for Boram, a dancer with developmental disability, to set goals for his life, and through this, Boram was living a life of challenge. The dance activity narrative experienced by Boram, a dancer with developmental disability, is expected to provide information for communication on the difference between disability and non-disability.
