Conditions
Interventions
The dance classes were based on the concepts and proposals developed in the TALT (Técnica Aplicada Lavinia Teixeira) program,
and took place twice per week,
each session lasting 60 minutes,
over a period of twelve months,
in an appropriate room,
alongside other dancers with or without disabilities.
The educational focus was to carry out choreographic sequences in a playful way to promote socialization,
body balance,
functional independence,
motor coordination,
and neuropsychomotor development. Each dance class consisted of three stages: (I) warm-
up: stretching and body conditioning
(II) choreographed sequences: encouragement of rhythm and body perception,
choreographic montages for public presentations
(III) relaxation. Three axes of components underlie the TALT technique: the self,
the environment,
and the other.
