Researchers say children should dance more

  • On the Ukedchat website we read that the results of several Finnish research incites children to get up from the tables and learn through physical exercise and movements. The fact that children and adults do less and less exercise and physical activity has become a global problem. In Finland, they're testing new methods to put children "dancing."

Demotivation of physical competitions

According to a Finnish report, the physical struggle in Finland means that the desire to move and exercise is lost. Evaluations, comparisons and competitiveness related to physical education can bring negative experiences. Many children and adolescents who do not like results-oriented physical exercises enjoy more freedom exercises, such as dance.

"In body expression and dance, physical exercise is combined with the expression of feelings, social interaction and cultural participation. Thus, a multidimensional link is created between learning and well-being in the school context. Therefore, dance can play an important role in the face of mental problems and the social exclusion of children and adolescents", wrote researchers from the University of the Arts of Helsinki.

Dancing with friends

Dancing with peers can help trust between children. Dancing reduces prejudices associated with body expression, such as overcoming the fear of representation. In general, high quality dance pedagogy has great potential for the well-being of children. According to international studies, dance is related to the development of social cognition, such as empathy, for example. Research shows that dance helps improve the academic capacity of children with autism, emotional, cognitive, or learning disabilities.

When the women of Iurreta launched soka-dantza in 1995
In Iurreta in 1995, Jon Irazabal wrote how the women made the soka-dantza. In fact, seeing that a female aurresku was dancing at the San Miguel festivities in 1837, following the tracks, the women of Iurreta learned and took a soka-dantza with coplas to the streets.
