Recent research highlights the importance of art in the educational process and its benefits in the holistic psycho-emotional development of the individual. Current literature focuses mainly on visual arts and music, while studies on dance and its contribution to mental health have increased only recently. The aim of the present study was to analyze recent literature that correlates the art of dance with mental resilience. In particular, the contribution of dance during school age was studied with particular emphasis on the mechanisms of development of mental resilience in students who are characterized by cultural diversity. This literature review was conducted in electronic databases, which was basically due to the restrictions imposed during the pandemic period. The duration of the study was 7 months, from November 2020 to May 2021. The results of the study showed that research activity on the effect of dance on mental resilience has not been adequately assessed. However, certain characteristics of mental resilience studied in relation to dance seem to contribute positively to the holistic psycho-emotional development of children by providing multiple benefits. It has been found that dance works beneficially and holistically across all ages, genders, socio-cultural, and socio-economic environments. It would be useful to plan more research to evaluate the effect of dance in greater depth and also in relation to more factors of psycho-emotional development.

Religious and Qur'anic teaching seeks to alter the individuals’ beliefs for a particular type of action and behavior based on the rules of religion, Islam and the Qur'an from the darkness of animalism to the light of humanity. The difference between education in Islam and the West is due to the difference of goals. The view of Islam is fundamentally different from the West one towards human beings, so much so that in these two types of views, the happiness definition for human beings is various. Consequently, educational goals will be different. Islam and the West each regulate their view of the family based on their worldview, and values in the family system are regulated based on this comprehensuive viewpoint. The bottom line is that parenting is a two-way street, just as parents are being educated in the process both as an educational model and as a religious task. The research method is analytical-descriptive in which the information is collected in the form of library –based studyand document references related to the research topic. The results of descriptive analysis of research data indicate that education has been one of the topics of interest to different religions and schools during the centuries and eras and religious and Quranic education has indicators, features, principles, methods and special methods to practice teachings. The religion of Islam and the Qur'an removes its obstacles and deterrents.
