A dança costurando saberes sociais na educação

Abstract

Dancing is a human cultural language of social composition that reveals the organization of the human feeling and thinking, especially in education. The aim of this study seeks to understand dance in the child's social scenario, in education inscribed in the expressive path of the desire to be, learn and live coexist. A study with a qualitative approach was developed, based on phenomenological hermeneutics, from 10 dance workshops, with the interaction of children between 5 and 11 years old, of both sexes, who attend formal and non-formal educational institutions, from Brasil / Itajaí / SC and Portugal / Braga, and are part of the socio-educational care projects. Dance added opportunities for artistic creation and social interaction in the expressive chain; it enabled the appropriation of cultural diversity in educational relationships that allowed human emancipation, as creative subjects of the complex world experienced, of citizenship linked to dance as cultural heritage; dancing involved the human being's recognition of rights and duties which, in coexistence, strengthens his citizen identity.
