It was decided to carry out an exploratory research activity using the semi-structured interview method (Mantovani, 1998) with the following request: “Describe your experience related to African dance during the lockdown period”. Twenty semi-structured interviews were carried out with young French adults with Down Syndrome, members of the Global Ethnik association as intermediate level African dance performers. The interviews were audio-recorded with the consent of the participants, and then transcribed verbatim. It was decided to carry out a content analysis of the interviews by adopting the Grounded Theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) as a theoretical and methodological foundation with specific reference to the constructivist epistemological paradigm (Charmaz, 2005). The thematic analysis was supported by the use of the Nvivo software (Richards, 1999). The participants, involved in the explor- atory study through a snowball sampling (Corbetta, 2014) including 10 men and 10 women, were aged between 20 and 32 years.

Abstract
It was decided to carry out an exploratory research activity using the semi-structured interview method (Mantovani, 1998) with the following request: “Describe your experience related to African dance during the lockdown period”. Twenty semi-structured interviews were carried out with young French adults with Down Syndrome, members of the Global Ethnik association as intermediate level African dance performers. The interviews were audio-recorded with the consent of the participants, and then transcribed verbatim. It was decided to carry out a content analysis of the interviews by adopting the Grounded Theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) as a theoretical and methodological foundation with specific reference to the constructivist epistemological paradigm (Charmaz, 2005). The thematic analysis was supported by the use of the Nvivo software (Richards, 1999). The participants, involved in the explor- atory study through a snowball sampling (Corbetta, 2014) including 10 men and 10 women, were aged between 20 and 32 years.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
