The absence of a physical preparation process in the field of dance is one of the greatest deficiencies that occur in dancers. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a floor gymnastics and physical training program on physical abilities (strength and flexibility) in hip-hop dancers from the Danzare school. The research design was experimental, and the sample consisted of 30 dancers between the ages of 10 and 18, from the Danzare dance school in the city of Cuenca. In the first phase, strength and flexibility levels were measured, focusing on upper extremities, lower extremities and trunk. Subsequently, a second intervention phase was carried out consisting of a) a physical conditioning process for two weeks, and b) a gymnastics program for 6 weeks. Finally, in the third phase, the levels of strength and flexibility are measured again, to observe if there were changes in their capacities, and a correct execution of the gymnastic elements. The results obtained were favorable, since a great difference was obtained in the strength and flexibility capabilities, between the pre-test and post-test, which was assessed by analyzing the data from the physical tests performed. In all test data, a bilateral significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.001) was obtained, which means that the applied gymnastics program had a positive effect. Finally, the execution of the gymnastic elements was evaluated through a checklist, verifying who could perform them. It was obtained that over 20 participants managed to execute all the techniques correctly.

Currently, dance becomes much more relevant thanks to the new massive means of dissemination such as social networks, which have managed to bring dance to a broader audience, showing different styles of dance accompanied by an infinite number of musical rhythms. Cuenca is a city that has great cultural wealth and is full of art, in the case of urban dance we find dancers who spread their art in the aforementioned media, unfortunately the overwhelming amount of content that is not well founded confuses the dancers beginners who see social networks as a reliable learning method and opaque to dancers who try to spread their art. The main objective of this project is to provide accurate and well-founded information to beginner dancers of urban rhythms and young people interested in learning about urban dance. The video contains introductory information about urban dance and three branches chosen for their popularity in our current context, presenting reliable information using design as a dissemination method.

Objetivo. Describir las afectaciones psicosociales de la cuarentena por COVID-19 en un grupo de bailarines de la ciudad de Medellín. Marco de referencias conceptuales. Los conceptos abordados en esta investigación son las afectaciones psicosociales, los efectos en la labor profesional, los efectos en los estados afectivos, los efectos en los vínculos afectivos, la cuarentena por el COVID-19 y Danza. Método. Se hace uso del método cualitativo, un diseño descriptivo transversal. Se recurre a un análisis de caso, recogiendo la información por medio de entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Resultados: Los efectos psicosociales con relación a la labor profesional, estados y vínculos afectivos, dan cuenta de que la pandemia introdujo importantes modificaciones en el entorno como en la subjetividad de los bailarines. La danza como la relación con ella propiciaron una reestructuración de lo laboral y de los vínculos en términos adaptativos. Discusión y conclusiones: Los efectos psicosociales preponderantes se presentan en términos de riesgo y protección, dado que se produjo un estado de incertidumbre laboral y afectiva; sin embargo, la relación con la danza continuó siendo un aliciente fundamental en el grupo de bailarines para representarse y desempeñarse en el mundo.
