  Abstract: This research aimed to evaluate the effect of twenty low volume remotely guided training sessions within the daily life of dancers with different routines who practice different dance modalities. The experimental research investigated ten female individuals chosen for convenience that volunteered to participate in the "I Festival Dance comCiência". As a research instrument, functional and physical tests adapted explicitly for this study were performed remotely by physical therapists and body conditioners. Afterwards, the dancers were instructed to carry out twenty 10-minute daily training sessions. Data were collected individually by video calls with a physiotherapist and a body conditioner. The comparison between the pre- and post-training test results was performed using paired t-test. It is possible to assume that remotely oriented low-volume training seems to be a viable and effective alternative for implementing physical conditioning in dance, but further studies with larger samples would help to state more solid answers.

  Abstract: Cardiorespiratory capacity is one of the most important components of our physical fitnes for the general population. How much this ability is required in dance depends on factors such as dance mode, duration and intensity of step sequences and choreographies, and even the hierarchical position that the dancer occupies within a company. Although far from the values found in athletes, the cardiorespiratory capacity of dancers is good compared to the general population. Although the theme is explored in the 1980s, there are many points that still need further investigation, such as the relationship between this capacity and the performance of a dancer' How to include in the routine of a dancer' Isolated workouts' Still, the evaluation of this ability in dancers seems not yet to happen in the dance routine, even with field tests, such as Dance Specific Aerobic Fitness Test (DAFT) already validated and presented in the literature, why' These are some of the issues addressed in this narrative review.

  Abstract: Dance has artistry and expression as its primary performance goals. In contrast with sports, measuring dancers' proficiency in the art form involves a subjective aesthetic component, rather more challenging to quantify and score. Qualitative measurement tools for assessing dance aesthetic performance have been previously proposed. This systematic review aims to examine the different test protocols that assessed aesthetic performance in modern or ballet dancers at vocational or professional levels in order to discuss methodological approaches for future development and application of dance aesthetic performance tools. The investigation followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Quality of evidence was moderate and methodological limitations in protocols were found. Accounting for genre-specificity and assessing for reliability, specificity and sensibility could further develop dance aesthetic tools in future studies.

  Abstract: This paper aimed to review the literature concerning the correct execution of the plié movement in the performance of different classical dance jumps. Studies about jumping techniques (such as countermovement jump, squat jump, and drop jump), the stretch-shortening cycle of short and long duration, classical dance jump and ballet mechanical action description by Agrippina Vaganova and Balanchine raised questions concerning different forms of plié execution preceding small and big jumps. Depending on the circumstance, they were especially concerning the heels contact on the floor during the plié execution before each jump. Understanding when the contact should happen or not is crucial for the prescription of adequate and specific training.

  Abstract: Body conditioning and physical fitness are, in more recent years, becoming more popular physical activities. Injury locations on the body differ depending on the style, which is why it is important to have injury prevention management relevant to the dance genre. The Breakalign Method was born out of the research work of the Project Breakalign team. It is a step-by-step conditioning programme, which takes the body through levels, and it was created through the biomechanical and physiological analysis of the technique of Breaking. Physical fitness consists of various aspects, all of which create a strong body capable of performing optimally, this being the goal of every dancer and athlete. Components of physical fitness are introduced and connected to the creation of the Breakalign Method. The break-down of an exercise variation example is also being presented, the conditioning for the Breaking move called the backrock.

  Abstract: Dance routines and sensations are meant to stimulate the body to create circuits to refine perceptions and expressions. Movement experimentation may develop creativity, which produces and expresses dance. Some researches suggest that dance is a tool that might enhance the quality of life. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the Movement Workshop: a Body-Space Experience (MWBSE) implementation in Company A to promote health and improve their employees quality of life through the Paola Rettore Method (PRM), which was based on the spontaneity proposed by Isadora Duncan to observe nature and the Laban/Bartenieff System. Forty employees engaged in a two-year program of the PRM with sessions twice a week for 20 minutes each. Results suggested that a method based on dance and movement positively affected the work environment.
