Introduction: The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between artistic mediation through dance and risk behaviors associated with the development of addictions in an educational institution in southern Jalisco, Mexico. Methodology: The methodological approach used was hermeneutic-constructivist, and the central technique for information analysis was thematic analysis. Results: The main findings of the research suggest that there are no definitive answers to the problems identified; rather, a range of needs emerges that urgently call for social and human change and transformation. Most of the young people in this educational community exhibit behaviors that predispose them to substance use, with a higher tendency among males. It is also considered that males influence the initiation of substance use among females through social pressure exerted within romantic relationships. Vaping devices, cigarettes, alcohol, and cannabis are identified as the substances most frequently consumed. The latter, in particular, triggers areas of tension involving school regulations, family norms, and legal frameworks. Teachers experience this situation as a conflicting scenario due to the normalization of these practices, the legal ambiguity surrounding marijuana use, and the differing family positions regarding the issue. Conclusions: Artistic mediation emerges as an alternative for change and a first space for agency. Through previous dance experiences, it has demonstrated itself as a map that opens new pathways and is proposed as an intervention project to address the identified needs.
