Art provides the acquisition of skills, the formation of abilities and values of high significance for social life. Its expressive capacity offers options to critically evaluate the surrounding world and from its contents and functions favor persuasion, participatory stimulation and behavioral transformation. The present work aims at the theoretical study of dance art as a sociocultural process with the capacity to transform community scenarios. The objective is to evaluate theoretically, epistemologically and methodologically the potential of dance art as a tool for sociocultural intervention in community scenarios. The sociocultural perspective argues, from interdisciplinary approaches, particularities of the context and explains possible options from the characterization and analysis of the subjects and their trajectories. The main stages in the development of scientific activity are highlighted, emphasizing the relevance of the closing of the scientific research cycle and the imperative of sociocultural intervention, with its demands, offering as an alternative the quasi-experiment as a way to undertake transformation and measure its results and impacts in studied scenarios. It is concluded that the theoretical arguments of analysis of the contextual processes, the methodological resources of the sociocultural perspective offer alternatives to adjust the artistic expressions with pretensions of transforming scenarios to undertake deep measurements.
