Abstract
This chapter addresses general aspects of applied sports psychology in dance performance with a focus on resilience development. Initially, the general context of sports psychology and the adaptations to the dance universe are addressed. Then the concepts and models of sports resilience are presented and a reflection on the aspects of dance performance is brought after each theory. Psychological aspects that are associated in high performance with resilience are also discussed, such as personality theory, motivation, stress, burnout, and coping. At the end, the authors present three case studies that show the relationship of the resilience component with the performance and mental health of the dancers.
