Annotation: The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the psychological aspects of the influence of ballroom dancing on the emotional state of adults. It highlights that ballroom dancing, as a form of socio-motor activity, has a comprehensive positive effect on psycho-emotional health, combining physical activity, emotional self-expression, and social interaction. The results demonstrated that systematic participation in ballroom dancing leads to a significant reduction in psycho-emotional tension, improvement of mood, enhancement of life satisfaction, and activation of cognitive processes. It was also found that dance practices improve body identity, promote self-knowledge, reduce feelings of loneliness, and strengthen interpersonal relationships. Additionally, the positive effect on empathy, coordination, and sensorimotor functions was confirmed. Ballroom dancing is an effective means of psycho-emotional support, contributing to the psychological well-being of adults, particularly in conditions of social or personal stress. Its adaptability to different ages and functional capabilities, combined with cultural universality and accessibility, provides the potential for its broad use as a resource for enhancing quality of life and mental health in the adult population.
