TALT provides biopsychosocial adjustments and it reverberates in life as a whole that contributes for identification of other contexts that can have an impact in life style of people with disabilities. TALT proposes the following learning objectives: (a) space-temporal adjustment and the knowledge of neuromotor complexity; (b) rhythm perception, comprehension and interpretation of gestural movement; (c) gradual motor function improvement. TALT has been performed by dance class sessions, and four set procedures are performed as follows: (I) global range of motion; (II) motor coordination; (III) body image; and (IV) skill and agility.

Whereas dance is considered a neuromotor activity and a possibility of non-verbal communication, TALT (a kind of

TALT proposes the following learning objectives: (a) creation of motor patterns that stimulates perception and space-temporal adjustment and the knowledge of neuromotor complexity; (b) rhythm perception, comprehension and interpretation of gestural movement; (c) gradual motor function improvement of kinetic-functional impairments in several human disabilities. This activity promotes a symbolic comprehension of gestures with sensorial, perceptual and emotional components, with the aim to achieve a satisfactory motor performance, the more difficult it may seem. TALT has been performed by dance class sessions, and four set procedures are composed as follows: (I) global range of motion (ROM) with coordinated and rhythmic dynamic floor exercises; (II) motor coordination: movements of upper and lower limbs emphasizing opposite directions and diagonals; (III) body image: interaction between subject and environment (space-temporal orientation), performance of simultaneous movement components (temporal coordination) and proprioception (perception of the movement); and (IV) skill and agility: sequential components of the movement (anticipatory
