Abstract

Dance is a fundamental form of human expression that likely evolved together with music as a way of generating rhythm. The science of dance involves the existence of science in dance and of course its implementation in the same. One of the first scientific approaches that can be seen today is that dance is being used as a therapy especially for arthritis, obesity, mental and cancer patients. It has been seen and proved that music and dance have brought positive changes in the treatment of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Many cancer centres are offering dance therapies as a combined treatment to that of their scheduled routine treatments.
