Dance that transforms people and looks

The Project “Moving the Mind, Thinking the Body”consists of implementing the activity of Contemporary Dance to different people and groups, both in specific workshops and as a regular and sustained activity over time. From ALTERATIONS Dance- Theater, We know the importance of dance, that is, the body and movement, in personal development. Dance is a very complete artistic activity that combines body and mind.

There are studies from neuroscience or psychology, which confirm that working with movement, music and space, from an early age and into old age, has many benefits at various levels. From the improvement of self-perception, injury prevention and posture correction to a greater and better relationship with others, improved self-control and emotional expression, increased well-being and quality of life, besides being a source of fun and joy and a way of knowledge and learning.
