The purpose of this study was to investigate influence of autonomy, competence and relatedness on participation motivation and continuance intention of dance sport participant. The subjects were 570 people who had been random sampled with the members of the dance sport studios in Busan. The research was made in such a method : Researchers visited those studios, seek the understanding of the teachers there, give a good explanation of the purpose of the research, and make them fill in questionnaire sheet ; 480 questionnaires were collected. The 404 sheets were made the final objects to be analyzed, with 76 sheets, which were considered not sincere, excluded. The subjects totalled 404 persons(98-male, 306-female), the age of subjects ranged form 18 to 73. The data were processed using SPSS v12.0 statistical program.
In order to prove the validity of the concept of the questionnaire, factor analysis was made, and for the purpose of proving the reliability of each variable, Cronbach´s α coefficient was sought. MANOVA was performed to prove the difference according to each variable, multiple regression was adopted to know the influence of autonomy, competence, relatedness on participation motivation and continuance intention. All the statistical significant levels were performed at p<.05, and the results of this study are as follows:
1. Difference of basic psychology needs
1) It is revealed that female have higher autonomy than male in gender basic psychology needs and it is revealed that male have higher competence, relatedness than female.
2) It is revealed that autonomy have the highest in participation period basic psychology needs, and "over two years" have the highest in participation period.
3) It is revealed that autonomy have the highest in participation frequency basic psychology needs, and "two∼three times in a week" have the highest in participation frequency.
2. Difference of participation motivation

4. Relationship between basic psychological needs, participation motivation and continuance intention
1) The multiple regression result between basic psychological needs and achievement intrinsic motivation factor is reveled that autonomy factor has high correlation.
2) The multiple regression result between basic psychological needs and control factor of physical strength and build is reveled that relatedness factor has high correlation.
3) The multiple regression result between basic psychological needs and external motivation factor is reveled that relatedness factor has high correlation.
4) The multiple regression result between basic psychological needs and partnership factor is reveled that relatedness factor has high correlation.
5) The multiple regression result between basic psychological needs and affiliation motivation factor is reveled that relatedness factor has high correlation.
6) The multiple regression result between basic psychological needs and amotivation factor is reveled that autonomy factor has high correlation.
7) The multiple regression result between basic psychological needs and continuance intention factor is reveled that autonomy factor has high correlation.
8) The multiple regression result between participation motivation factors and continuance intention factor is reveled that intrinsic motivation factor has high correlation.
