ENG- Dance is a discipline that evolves and progressively broadens its scope of action. It stops having an artistic objective where learning, style, technique, and/or stage are involved, and it transforms into a tool, instrument, resource, medium, bridge, and/or purpose. Dance, turned into a social instrument and being an expressive tool of body language, is a good medium to work with social groups, those vulnerable or at risk of social exclusion, becoming social dance. The aim of this doctoral dissertation, composed of five articles, is to thoroughly examine social dance, a concept that currently lacks a unified criterion in the scientific community for its definition. The significance of conceptualizing the term social dance is highlighted by conducting an international review of its representation. The concept is further refined, providing an operational definition while reflecting on the matter, generating a discourse that highlights the value of social dance to showcase a conceptually new area of study. At the same time, it reveals the contexts of development, attributes, and uses, identifying its academic application and potential incorporation into cultural, social, and educational policies. The methodological approach is primarily qualitative, as a knowledge-building entity, as evidenced in the first, second, and third articles, and mixed methodology in the studies of the fourth and fifth articles. The first and second articles adopt the concept analysis method according to Walker and Avant (W&A). The sample comprises international literature and includes articles from 1972 to 2024, collected in a flowchart based on PRISMA (2020). The third article is a report/study on the state of higher education in social dance in the Iberian Peninsula (PI), revealing its presence in university teaching institutions under the current legislation, with guidelines from the Bologna Process (1999). The fourth and fifth articles outline two of the purposes that social dance groups can adopt. Specifically, the fourth article presents social dance with a therapeutic purpose, carried out through dance therapy or dance movement therapy (DM/T). A sample collected from 2010 to 2021 is analysed, involving 35 annual support groups for women victims of gender violence under the Social Services of the Barcelona City Council. In the data analysis, 272 sequences/assertions expressed by the 700 women included in the study are inventoried. The fifth article presents social dance with an artistic-scenic purpose, focusing on sequential exploratory design (DEXPLOS) with a derivative modality. This article analyzes a sample collected between the years 2018 and 2022, with an open group of healthy people, who make up the artistic-community project of the Antic Teatre in Barcelona. For data collection, an ad hoc validated instrument was generated to evaluate the benefits of social dance with an artistic-scenic purpose for people in their 3rd and 4th age. The study results allow for generating an operational definition of the concept of social dance related to the type of context and its particularities. The concept analysis has provided collective discourse to the theory, fostering progress in the conceptual field where dance is the core of research. Furthermore, the research offers a current perspective on Higher Artistic Education where social dance is included, inviting critical reflection on new proposals for educational pathways in university teaching.On the other hand, the evolution of women's groups and the benefits they obtain when reorganizing the triad of thoughts, feelings, and actions are highlighted, allowing them to make vital decisions. Just as it is evident how the practice of dance is essential for healthy ageing, where the 3rd and 4th age group values physical improvement and the relationship with peers, conditioned by the age range in which they pass. This result aligns with the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030). In conclusion, this thesis contributes knowledge regarding the concept of social dance and its relevance when dance is involved in social group projects, providing benefits for their psycho-physical-social well-being ​
