La danza como un recurso frente a lo real de la adolescencia. Una respuesta en el proceso de construcción de identidad.

Abstract

The theme that was developed in this research is dance as a resource against the reality of adolescence, a response in the process of identity construction. This research topic was considered relevant because the adolescent, when going through a stage as conflictive as adolescence, can resort to different resources to be able to face these changes, this reality. This is why dance was proposed as another alternative that could allow them to face this reality. The objective of this research was to analyze dance as a resource against the reality of adolescence and its impact on the process of construction of the identity of young people through the descriptive method. It was carried out with a methodology with a qualitative approach through an analysis of scientific and psychoanalytic literature, semi-structured interviews with professionals in the field of psychology and dance, and a focus group with adolescents who dance. This research made it possible to locate dance as a resource that adolescents use to process this stage and develop a more genuine and authentic identity.
