This research clarified a neuroscientific mechanism from somatics in dance contents developed using somatics methods through literature studies. To clarify these, first, I organized neuroscientific mechanism in somatics, second, researched neuroscientific mechanism in dance contents adopted from somatics practice. Somatics is limited to Feldenkrais Method. It is possible to explain neuroscientific mechanism through neuro-plasticity, proprioception and Sensory Integration. As a result Gaga and Tamalpa take the method Awareness thorugh Movement from Feldenrkrais. They integrate newly formed networks by informations from proprioceptive senses. This study is significant that suggest brain scientific practices in dances and somatics, explain mechanism between brain and body in dance practices and provide a base that explains mechanism of body movement in a view of brain science to choreographers and dancers to apply this mechanism in their study and training.
