“…Positive personality (37 studies) describes dancers that are striving for self-actualization, self-assessment, self-efficacy, self-management, autonomy, self-development, flexibility, and versatility. Several studies suggested that these factors aid dancers to form a holistic identity or buffer stressors they encounter ( van Staden et al, 2009 ; Klockare et al, 2011 ; Mitchell et al, 2017 ; Blevins et al, 2020 ; de Las Heras Fernández et al, 2020 ). However, according to the included studies, these qualities are deemed in need of development, nurturing, and strengthening, not only in dance but in future dance research in general.…”

Research in dance psychology and mental health is rapidly growing. Yet, evidence in the field can seem dispersed due to few existing meta overviews that outline research in dance related to mental health. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to present an overview of the state of the art and to strengthen future dance research by gathering and contextualizing existing findings on mental health in dance. Following the PRISMA guidelines and protocols, 115 studies were included in the review. Overall, the data analysis shows a predominant adoption of quantitative research but a lack of applied interventions of preventive and reactive procedures in mental health. Similarly, there is a tendency to study pre-professional dancers, whereas research into professional dancers, especially aged 30–60 is underrepresented. Dance genres have been unevenly investigated, with classical ballet being the most researched, whereas different dance styles and freelance employment are in dire need of in-depth investigation. Conceptualizing mental health as a dynamic state, the thematic analysis identified three main categories: stressors, the mental process, and outcomes. These factors appear to be in a complex interaction. Overall, the existing literature gives indications of components essential to understanding dancers’ mental health but has several blind spots and shortcomings, thus, a lot of in-depth understanding and research is still needed to fully grasp its dynamic complexity.

“…In the same way, the dance corps de ballet do not feel a psychological threat when their performance is collective and collaborative through joint actions ( Reddish, Fischer & Bulbulia, 2013 ). For this reason, the corps de ballet presents less psychological concern and trainability than soloists/principal dancers ( De las Heras-Fernández et al, 2020 ), and lower scores in anxiety, are found in the dancers that “accompany”, that is, only intervene at some moments and do not have an essential role in the show, and therefore face less risks and responsibility ( Coll, Mateos & De las Heras Fernández, 2021 ). On the other hand, the high T levels of professional flamenco soloist dancers match results based on status in amateur ballet ( Łagowska & Kapczuk, 2016 ).…”

Dance is a high demanding discipline that involves physiological and psychological pressures. The pressure increases when dancers perform in front of an audience that, on a physiological level, can generate hormonal responses similar to those of an athlete before a competition for social status. Low levels of testosterone (T) and high levels of cortisol (C) are related to a decrease in performance and an increase in the risk of injury. Therefore, this study sets out to analyse hormone response patterns in professional flamenco dance performances depending on whether the performances are completed successfully and whether there are differences by sex and professional category. Saliva specimens (2–5 ml) were taken from the participants before and after the performance. Samples were immunoassayed by duplicate to analyze momentary fluctuations in two hormones regularly used in studies with professional athletes. The results showed significant differences in solo dancers’ T responses before and after the performance (p < 0.01), suggesting that the dancing role in the show (soloist or corps the ballet) and responsibility over the performance were important modulators to the hormone responses observed.

“…Their first explanation described emotional intelligence as the "capability to observe one's own and other's feelings and emotions, to separate among them, and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions" (Fiori et al, 2019). Emotionally expanded persons, that is, those who correctly manage their feelings and know how to clarify and relate to the emotions of others, benefit from an advantageous situation in all domains of life (Fernández et al, 2020). Many tasks such as training, education, leadership and guidance of others, mental health and well-being, and personal life can be impacted by an individual's EI (Talip et al, 2019).…”

Introduction: It has been acknowledged that emotional intelligence and stress are essential parts of sports performance. Emotional intelligence is the ability to process dynamic information accurately and efficiently. Meanwhile, stress is a physiological and psychological response to an environmental demand after individuals perceive that they cannot adequately cope with the current market. Objective: The goal of this research was to recognize the relationship between emotional intelligence and stress among adolescent jump ropes in Pahang based on age differences. Methods: Ninety-five Pahang's jump ropers (N=95);(1.64±.482yrs; 159.82±27.85cm; 55.57±9.305kg) were selected to participate in this study. The study employed a survey design that involved the Assessing Emotions Scale (Schutte et al., 1998) and The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; Cohen et al., 1983). Findings: The result showed a significant positive relationship between EI and stress among adolescent jump ropes in Pahang. Besides, The Mann Whitney U test of ages 13 to 15 revealed a higher scored in emotional intelligence as compared to 16-17 years old jump ropes. Again, another Mann-Whitney score for stress results indicated that the 13 to 15 years old group experienced low stress compared to 16 to 17 years old. In conclusion, 13 to 15 years old can control their emotions and cognitive ability in handling and coping with stressful situations. Conclusion: Although their age has increased into adolescence, they are still unable to manage their stress effectively due to several factors such as school performance, relationships, and others.
