There exist research and numerous bibliography that indicates that dance is a good tool in helping children regulate their stress levels and reduce their level of anxiety. Objective: To evaluate comparatively the effect of regular dance practice in the control of stress and the reduction of anxiety in children. Materials and methods: Longitudinal experimental study with intentional non-probabilistic sample of 146 children, 50 children from the experimental group who attended the dance program, 50 children who practiced regular physical activity and 46 sedentary children. The questionnaires CAS, STAIC and the Daily Stress Inventory for Children (IECI) were applied. Results: The dance group had the greatest decrease in levels of stress and anxiety. The group with sports physical exercise showed a marked tendency to remain constant. In the control group of sedentary children, without any treatment, a remarkable inclination towards increasing stress levels was found. The results confirm that stress can decrease with regular dance practice. Sports physical exercise also reduces, but without the same stability in the results since, in some individual cases, it increases the levels of anxiety and stress.
