| Main outcome - Improvement in participants' quality of life: analyzed through the application of the SF-36 questionnaire before and after the workshop. It is expected to increase the scores of each domain (functional capacity, physical aspects, pain, general health, vitality, social aspects, emotional aspects, mental health) assessed by the SF-36 and significance in the pre- and post-work comparison.;It was possible to note that, prior to the workshop, higher scores were attributed to social aspects (M = 76.4) and emotional aspects (M = 74.1). On the other hand, lower mean values, however good, were attributed to vitality domains (M = 60.6) and general health status (M = 62.7). After the workshop, higher mean values were attributed to the emotional (M = 96.3) and physical (M = 83.3) aspects and the lower mean values were attributed to the vitality (M = 62.8) and mental health (M = 68.9). It was also possible to observe a reduction in the standard deviation of the participants' responses to each domain when compared to the pre-workshop stage. At the end, it was possible to observe improvement in the means of the domains: physical aspects (pre workshop: 69.4, post workshop: 83.3) and emotional aspects (pre workshop: 74.1, post office: 96.3). In addition, the hypothesis test was performed. For that, the general average of the quality of life of all participants was considered before (M = 68.7) and after (M = 76.7) the performance of the dance and movement workshop. The t-test was performed using 95% confidence and the hypothesis was rejected that the workshop had no effect on general quality of life (with a p-value of 0.00773). This means that, from the questionnaire carried out before and after, it can be concluded that the workshop had a positive impact on the participants' overall quality of life. | — |
