Summary/Abstract: Man has been accompanied by dance since the dawn of time. Although dance is difficult to unambiguously describe and defi ne, due to complexity, ambiguity, multidimensionality and also subjectivity of perception, it can be expressed tapping in emotions in individual or group way. Natural need of human being is just about approaching to positive feelings and happiness. This necessity has contributed to start many of existential dilemma and researches to find its’ roots. One of the way of searching, became theory of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi named flow, which refers to excitement, state of ecstasy, rapture, lose in activity and move into magical and another reality. My will of research of correlation between dance and flow arise from combination of my passion, profession and experience which approve its’ indisputable connection. My coach position and observations also, which I made thru years, testify that flow is not just theoretic conception and academic theory. Consciousness of ways and conditions of appearing mentioned phenomenon gives ourself information how to create, repeat and maintain that engagement. Thanks to that, after some period of time and practice, achieving state of flow can become our ability and can be used to reach happiness and fulfillment in privet and working life over and over.
