Women have a high prevalence of sedentary lifestyle, causing various impairments to physical and mental health. One of the main reasons is related to their daily life routine, increasing sedentary lifestyle due to lack of time for regular exercise, increasing depression rates, promoting decreased motivation, changes in body composition, decreased muscle strength, and syndrome metabolic. Studies show that regular physical exercise practice improves several health indicators, specifically in women. However, most studies have focused on individual activities, such as weight training and running. Choreographic activities to the rhythm of music have been an important strategy in the control and maintenance of women's health, mainly for providing greater adherence in this population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to carry out a narrative review of articles published in indexed journals on the benefits of choreographic activities to the rhythm of music on health indicators in women. Our main findings were: a) activities to the rhythm of music improve the quality of life, cognitive aspects and body composition of women who adhere to this modality. Thus, this activity can be promising to reduce sedentary lifestyle and promote better health indicators, especially in women.
