Dance contributes to the individual’s development on a physical, emotional, intellectual and aesthetic level. It improves one’s coordination, flexibility and tone and also develops expressive, creative and aesthetic skills. From a psychological point of view it may have a preventive action in emotional and behavioral changes, attenuated by the body language of the individual with himself and in interaction with the group and society.
