Proposal for the training of volunteer Hospital dancers

This book is a training proposal for hospital volunteer dancers using Venezuelan dance as a pedagogical strategy. The central idea is to "dance with the patient" from the space where the patient is. It uses the scheme of music and dance by colors as a guide to shape the work sessions. It also relies on psychoneuroimmunological strategies taken from psychology and health education such as focusing, visualization and relaxation techniques in accordance with the historical thread of the disease: how the patient was before getting sick, how he/she perceives him/herself now that he/she is sick and how he/she wants to see him/herself in the future healthy. Venezuelan dance is taken as a pedagogical resource because it includes all dance genres, music, theater, singing and oral and scenic narration, which makes it suitable for the patient to choose for body work the piece of his liking and can take home his work scheme to exercise in favor of the recovery of his physical and mental health.
