Participants will be allocated to one group which will be i) control and ii) experimental. That is at first i) will attend a control period without intervention (6 weeks) and at second ii) will attend an intervention period participating on the intervention program mediated by belly dance (12 weeks). Participants will be accessed at a baseline, at post control and at post intervention.

Control and Experimental Group

OTHER

The same group, will do the intervention will attend the belly dance program. The control group will maintain the usually daily activities, not attending any exercise program for a month and a half, and than will be a experimental group with 2 sessions / week of 60 minutes on alternated days.

Belly Dance Program OTHER

All Belly Dance sessions comprised 5 phases: 1) opening ritual (5 min), in which participants will be welcomed and perceived how people were feeling. 2) warm-up (15 min), in which thinking and feeling are integrated during the movements, isolating each part of the body according to Laban's body organization. 3) main phase (30 min), will be proposed individual, pair and group activities, in order to achieve the objectives planned. This phase will end with a choreography composition or a challenge; 4) cool-down (5 min) with stretching and physiological parameters normalization; and 5) ending ritual (5 min), in which the participants will be invented to share their sessions' experience.
