The Influence of Dance on Social Skills

The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of dance on the development of social skills across different age groups. Dance, as a form of artistic expression and physical activity, can enhance communication skills, boost self-confidence, and foster empathy and interpersonal relationships. Studies indicate that most participants report an improved ability to express emotions following dance programmes. Additionally, research participants have reported increased self-confidence and a heightened sense of connectedness with others. These findings support the conclusion that dance significantly contributes to enhancing social dynamics and improving quality of life.
