Abstract:
Dance has existed for centuries and there is growing interest in its physical and cognitive benefits. This Art is an organized set of rhythmic body movements, which can be accompanied by music, and integrate the motor and sensory systems and cognitive functions such as focus, attention and memorization, in addition to awakening creativity. Here we carried out a bibliographic survey and a questionnaire on self-perception of benefits achieved through dance.
