Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to define the role of dance in cognition. Nabokina considers neurocognitive and cultural studies perspectives in the study of dance. Choosing as a starting point the metaphor of dance as used by Nietzsche, she proposes to look at dance as dynamic cognition, allowing the subject to harmonise with the world, other actors in it, and the recognition of social processes.
