Social and Cultural Intervention through Dance for Promoting Values in Multicultural Contexts

Abstract

This study aims to understand the transmission of culture and values through artistic activities, such as dance. To this end, different variables such as marital and religious status are considered, as they may influence people’s behaviour and participation in this activity. In this quantitative study, a sample of 440 individuals was collected using a questionnaire. The sampling was non probabilistic and causal. An ANOVA test was carried out to check for significant differences between the items when analysing dance as a tool in sociocultural intervention. It was found that dance is a mechanism that serves to transmit culture and promote socio-cultural values, especially in multicultural contexts, where variables such as religion and marital status were found to be significant in this activity.
