Diosas en movimiento: De cómo la danza eleva el bienestar humano

Abstract

The present study explores how dance practices contribute to human well-being, with an emphasis on feminine energy. The objetive was to demonstrate the effects of dance on the well-being and empowerment of women through the workshop "Diosas: Connecting with Feminine Energy," conducted over eight sessions featuring movement, reflection, and expression dynamics. Using a qualitative approach, narratives were collected at the end of each session, alongside photographs and videos that documented the process. The results reveal that participants experienced a strengthening of their identity, a reconnection with their bodies, and an increase in confidence, as reflected in statements such as "I felt my body alive" and in images of powerful postures. These findings are organized into three axes: "A Thousand Ways of Being," "The Dancer’s Skin," and "Feminine Empowerment." The research concludes that dance, by integrating body and emotion, is an effective tool for enhancing human well-being, particularly for women seeking healing and self-affirmation. This study provides a practical perspective on the link between dance and personal transformation, opening pathways for future explorations in similar contexts.
