REFLEXÕES SOBRE A DANÇA NA EDUCAÇÃO DAS CRIANÇAS

Abstract

The absence of the various languages ​​that make up the arts, particularly dance, in schools compromises the social and psychomotor development of children and adolescents. This study sought to analyze the importance of working with dance in the school environment, promoting an education that stimulates movement and teaching practices in the field of the arts. The challenge of overcoming a teaching that exclusively prioritizes theoretical activities is highlighted, limiting the expressive and motor potential of students in a work of marginalizing the arts. Assuming as methodology the bibliographical research of an exploratory nature in articles published in specialized journals, the objective of the research is to discuss the importance of dance in pedagogical practices and its impacts, emphasizing the body in movement as a central element and the importance of working with dance for the omnilateral formation of children and young people who, through it, integrate themselves into all the relationships that individuals establish in the world. The work assumes as a theoretical reference the perspective of body movement as a benefit for the formation of subjects and for the relationship with institutions that promote practices that contribute to the development of individuals in their teaching and learning process.
