Abstract Objective: This study aimed to systematically review previous studies on the effects and mother's benefits of dancing during pregnancy for their health and fetus health. Methodology: A systematic literature search was conducted (n=13) using the onlineWeb of Science, SportDiscus, Google Scholar and Embase databases up to September 2021, using the keywords: «dance», «pregnancy», «perinatal» and «fetus», also in Spanish. Previously, a coding sheet was used based on the study objective and the PRISMA statement. Results: 1) An aerobic dance program combined with other physical fitness components exercises can prevent excessive weight gain during pregnancy, reduce the risk of hypertension and improve submaximal cardiorespiratory capacity in pregnant women; 2) An aerobic dance-only program should prevent and improve common lower back pain during pregnancy and 3) No evidence of damage is observed on the health of the mother and the fetus on the practice of dance; y 4)There is limited evidence of positive effects on fetal and newborn health. Conclusions:The practice of dance in pregnant women could counteract some of the susceptible disorders typical of the pregnancy stage and does not pose any risk to their health. However, more studies are needed on the effects of its practice on fetal health.As well as interventions considering other possible dance styles. © Federación Española de Asociaciones de Docentes de Educación Física (FEADEF).
