Abstract

Objective: The study investigates the effects of a flamenco program complementary to a parenting school for mothers
on self-concept, anxiety, anger and depression.

Method: The sample was of 14 women between 36 and 50 years old attending a parenting school. Half of them
received six flamenco sessions; the other half served as a comparison group. Through a mixed design, the pre and post
intervention measures were compared between the two groups. A psychotherapist, a Reflecting Team and a flamenco
dancer, directed the sessions.

Results: The physical self-concept improves only in the group that attended the flamenco sessions. In addition,
anxiety levels and feelings of anger tend to decrease, although not significantly.
