This article presents the second preliminary study designed to develop and validate the questionnaire CDC (Body, Dance and Community) for young dance practitioners from the Art Centers of Rio de Janeiro City Hall. The theoretical framework was based on studies related to the physical dimension (Figueiredo, 2013; Furhmann, 2014), affective dimension (Damásio, 2014; 2013; Figueiredo, 2011), social dimension (Fuhrmann, 2008; Marques, 2010; 2014; Shapiro, 2008) and adolescence (Lipp, 2010; Matos & Thomas, 2012). The instrument was applied to 50 subjects aged from 12 to 16 years old. Based on the results of this study, we obtained the internal consistency of the questionnaire and its subscales. The results from the study point adequate values for the internal consistency of the questionnaire and  identify benefits derived from the practice of dance by young people, namely in the physical dimension trough a better expressiveness and self-perception of emotions expressed while dancing, as well as in an affective dimension, through the development of feelings of self-confidence and well-being and in a social dimension by the impact of dance on a better interaction and social participation with family, school, community and among members of the art center.
