Abstract

This article investigates the relationships of choreopolitics in educational practices focused on childhood, highlighting its role in controlling space in early childhood education. Initially, the concept of choreopolitics (Lepecki, 2011) and its relationship with the educational environment are presented, emphasizing the importance of working with space in dance in children's development. The reflection reveals examples of how space control is practiced, both in terms of the physical organization of the environment and the behavioral regulation of children. Therefore, mechanisms of social control in early childhood education are discussed, and reflections on possible alternatives to promote more inclusive and participatory spaces through dance are presented.
