Background: Dance is a possibility of non-verbal communication. It is supposed that, as a therapy, dance can embrace and interconnect cerebral areas responsible for the cognition, emotion and motor action. Objective: The aim was to investigate the effect of Dance therapy on life quality in individuals with neuromotor disorders. Methods: This controlled and randomized clinical trial was composed two groups: Dance therapy and Kinesiotherapy. Both of them were undergone to a 1-hour treatment, twice a week, along two months. The Short-Form 36 questionnaire about Life Quality (Brazilian version) was used as an instrument of evaluation. The applied procedures in the groups Dance therapy and Kinesiotherapy were conducted in suitable locations for the therapies. Results: Twenty-six subjects were proportionally allocated into those two groups of study. The findings suggest impairment in quality of life in various rules in both groups when analyzed through SF-36. The worst scores of this criterion were observed into the physical limitation field in both groups (Dance therapy 20.76±6.76, Kinesiotherapy 37.69±8.05). A Significant difference was observed through the following items: functional capacity (p=0.019); general health (p=0.015); social aspects (p=0.002) and limitation for emotional aspects (p=0.039) only for the group Dance therapy after treatment. Conclusion: This group promoted enhancement on the quality of life in patients with brain-related neuromotor disabilities.
