It uses the categories of the Theory of Human Motricity as a way to approach and understand the empirical and the scientific knowledge of Dance and the Body, from the point of view of Complex Thinking. This study belongs necessarily to the general domain of Human Sciences and it is based on qualitative research. It employs the Integrative Method, which allows a synthesis of different methodologies. By analyzing and interpreting a series of interviews conducted with a group of Dance professionals and confronting the results with the knowledge produced in this field, this thesis makes it possible to recognize the Body"s role as a protagonist and to uncover its essence as it becomes a presence, a process and a project in/of the act of dancing. This research contributes to the identification and/or clarification of guiding principles that may assist the activity of Dance professionals. It also enables the recognition of the theory of Human Motricity as a suitable way for the development of a Dance committed to the Being who dances and who should be understood in his entirety, including the dynamics of self-improvement, dreams, memory and prophecy.
