This article describes a study that, by taking dance as an intercessor, brings clinical practice in Mental Health into play in primary care. In a family health clinic, clinical practice in Mental Health is destabilized and invited to dance. A psychologist-dancer-researcher awakens the sensibility of the body to problematize clinical practice, prompted by dance experimentation. Underpinned by the cartographic method, a proposal for “floor-based clinical practice” is developed, which is the focus of this text. The proposal embraces the transversality of the fields of art and clinical practice to produce resonances, contagion. A joint consultation with a community health agent is called to compose the movements that create the research, which, taking the floor as its ally, invents modes of clinical practice and ways of proliferating feelings.
