Brief Summary

Is a parallel longitudinal protocol where half patients receive a experimental protocol and the other half receive orientation to maintain your daily live routine as usually. The experimental protocol include Ballet sessions. The hypothesis is interventional group will improve the balance control more than control group.

Ballet

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects who will receive the experimental protocol.

Other: Ballet

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Subjects who will not receive the experimental protocol, only will be on a wait list.

Interventions

Ballet OTHER

The classic ballet classes will respect biological limits of children. The sessions will be 75 minutes long, twice a week during 8 weeks. The class sequence will be: warm-up, follow by exercises about upper and lower limbs ballet positions and sequences of ballet jumps, and at the end a cool-down.
