Touch is a sense that is omnipresent in healthcare relationships and can be difficult to understand. The intimate nature of this contact requires a thoughtful approach and could benefit from specific training. Dance, with its defined framework and sensitive approach to the body, could serve as a space for exploring touch.Explore the experience of touch among general practitioners who practice dance.Interpretative phenomenological qualitative study. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with general practitioners who practice dance. The analysis allowed superordinate themes to emerge after triangulation.The nine interviews revealed that touch, marked by an evolving relationship with consent, whilst on the one hand made the care relationship more empathetic, was also not easy to approach for participants. Thus, dance allowed them to explore the intention behind touch, improve their empathy, and add complexity and nuance to the experience of touch by modulating the semantics surrounding it. The absence of critical reflection when training to become a doctor made it difficult to become aware of one's actions. The development of critical thinking was linked to chance encounters and could be encouraged by research work.The practice of dance could serve as a place to explore this relationship with touch through a process of modulation that nuances the experience of touch by introducing new imaginaries. The compartmentalisation of professional and private life makes it difficult for general practitioners to transpose any experiences between these two worlds. One explanation for this phenomenon could be the loss of cross-disciplinary skills among doctors, linked to the rise of scientific medicine, which has led to over-specialisation among healthcare professionals.The experience of touch is constantly evolving throughout a caregiver's career, leaving neither the person touched nor the toucher indifferent. Its perception is marked by current societal changes, prompting doctors to take the patient's experience into account. Dance could serve as a place to explore this relationship to touch. To encourage doctors and medical student to question their relation to touch, the development of research and the introduction of collectively guided reflection time on the possible exchanges between dance and touch could be useful levers.
