KINETOPROPHYLAXY THROUGH BALLROOM DANCE IN CHILDREN AGED 6-8-12 YEARS

Abstract

Kinetoprophylaxy is frequently applied within dance sessions for children of low and middle school-age, in order to maintain a good state of health. Therapy through ballroom dance, whose theme content is adapted to the specific prophylactic particularities, favors a re-balancing of the postural control of the body of the practitioner. This study aims to create an instrument of assessment and in-depth analysis of the beneficial effects of dancing in preventing the onset or aggravation of certain psycho-postural and walking deficiencies. From a practical perspective, it aims to create an efficient working instrument for the prevention of physical and functional deficiencies of the growing and somato-functional developing body
