Introduction
El objetivo principal del proyecto «Danzando Emociones» ha sido favorecer la creación de sinergias entre la educación, el arte y la salud mental, con el fin de posibilitar el desarrollo físico y emocional de los escolares, brindándoles la oportunidad de desarrollar todo su potencial con el apoyo de artistas y docentes.
The project arose from the need to use art as a tool for educational and social inclusion and the regeneration of community ties in the classroom. Art, in all its expressions, plays a fundamental role in the process of human formation and in the constitution of the personality.
Desarrollado durante el año 2023, se han llevado a cabo múltiples sesiones de sensibilización y autoconocimiento, talleres de movimiento, danza y arte-terapia que han concluido con la elaboración de dos piezas de video de danza, una acción performativa protagonizada por los/as alumnos/as participantes titulada «El Silencio de las Mariposas» y dos jornadas públicas de presentación de resultados, sensibilización social y actividades artísticas que se han celebrado en el Teatro Caja Granada y el I.E.S Alhambra los pasados 03 y 22 de Junio, respectivamente.
Project objectives
To achieve quality education using dance and the performing arts as learning tools.
To promote training with a perspective sensitive to being people respectful of diversity and social inequality.
Improve school coexistence using art for social transformation, inclusion and community development.
To develop self-knowledge and foster students' self-esteem.
To break sexist stereotypes integrated in society and therefore in the performing arts.
To provide methodological tools for teachers to develop joint educational projects.

Nuestro proyecto surge de la necesidad de utilizar el arte como herramienta para la inclusión educativa, social y la regeneración de los vínculos comunitarios en las aulas. El arte en todas sus expresiones desempeña un papel fundamental en el proceso de formación humana y en la constitución de la personalidad integrada.
Activities and stages of the project.
01. EVALUACIÓN INICIAL Y RECOGIDA DE DATOS.
En esta fase inaugural de «Danzando Emociones», llevamos a cabo una investigación exhaustiva y una recopilación de datos esenciales. Nos sumergimos en la exploración de las emociones y el bienestar de los propios alumnos/as a través de un cuestionario digital diseñado minuciosamente para el proyecto.
These individual questionnaires are designed to assess fundamental aspects of the participants' lives, from self-esteem to their perception of the performing arts. We explore dimensions such as empathy, optimism, frustration tolerance and academic performance, seeking to understand and obtain quantifiable data about the complexity of their emotional worlds.
El diseño de estos cuestionarios se basó en la guía titulada «Instrumentos para la evaluación de la salud mental y el desarrollo positivo adolescente y los activos que lo promueven», proporcionada por la Consejería de Salud de la Junta de Andalucía. Esta guía, supervisada por la destacada psicóloga y terapeuta María Artacho, ha sido una herramienta fundamental para garantizar la validez y la relevancia de nuestros datos.
Collaboration with María Artacho, director of the María Zambrano Center in Granada, has enriched this evaluation process, ensuring a robust and professional approach. We are proud not only to collect data, but also to do so in a way that reflects our commitment to excellence and deep understanding.
Este primer cuestionario marca el inicio de un viaje de autoexploración para nuestros participantes que se ha contrastado con una segunda evaluación tras concluir las actividades, permitiéndonos medir el impacto de «Danzando Emociones» en sus vidas.

03. SESIONES DE DANZA, MOVIMIENTO Y EXPRESIÓN CORPORAL.
Introduction of the activity.
In the third and pivotal phase of our project, we successfully conducted a series of transformative dance, movement and body expression sessions. These precisely designed workshops played a crucial role in fostering the open and inclusive participation of our valued student body.
During these sessions, we focus on enhancing the individual development of each participant, providing them withtools to express themselves, create and communicate through body language and movement. We guide adolescents to fully explore their bodies, both motorically and expressively, allowing them to externalize feelings, ideas, thoughts and emotions in an authentic way.
These sessions in a unique and renewed working environment ensured the active participation of most of the students and the teaching staff. Each session was an opportunity to explore new facets of oneself and discover the richness of one's own potential.
These workshops transcended dance to become a meeting place that brought together people of different ages, backgrounds, knowledge and diversity .
Objectives of the activity.
Motor and expressive development of the participants.
Creation of an inclusive workspace
Encouragement of personal self-discovery and creative expression.
