The influence of dance art on children with deviant behavior

Abstract

The article offers a theoretical analysis of the literature on the influence of dance art on children with deviant behavior. Deviant children are characterized by such features of the emotional-volitional sphere as increased anxiety, the defectiveness of the value system, especially in the field of goals and the meaning of life. They are usually impulsive, irritable, quick-tempered, aggressive, conflicting, which makes it difficult for such adolescents to communicate with others and creates significant difficulties in their education. For a full-fledged existence, a teenager needs constant resistance (environmental factors, internal conditions) to their aspirations to satisfy their own needs, since such resistance provides the phenomenon of actual well-being and creates opportunities for development. On the other hand, overcoming resistance to meeting a particular need always causes stress, which, in the absence of a corresponding emotional-volitional resource, leads to destructive effects: conflicts, stress, aggression, and deviations. It is known that children of any age love to dance. In dancing, they satisfy their need for movement. With the help of some specific dance movements, they reveal their feelings, mood, and their inner state. In other words, the art of dance is a synthesis of aesthetic, emotional and physical development. The authors also examined the psychological, pedagogical and sociophilosophical literature on the problem of the influence of dance art on children with deviant behavior. Children with deviations can regard reality as a negative phenomenon, show an inability to adapt to reality, not accept the demands of society, be withdrawn, aggressive, etc. The study of the influence of dance art on the behavioral skills of children with deviation and their mental development is seen relevant and promising.
