Abstract

This scientific article proposes a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of playful methodology and rigorous curricular structuring in dance teaching for children. Based on teacher specialization curricular documents, educational psychology literature, and clinical expertise in Neurology, it investigates how the integration of subjects such as anatomy, creative movement, and child pedagogy favors the student's integral development. The study addresses the importance of psychomotricity in acquiring ballet and jazz techniques, the need for curricular adaptation for the inclusion of students with special needs, and the role of gentle discipline in classroom management. It is argued that robust teacher training, combined with intentional playful strategies and rehabilitation knowledge, is decisive for training competent and healthy dancers, preventing injuries and promoting socialization.
