Grupo de dança do Colégio Municipal Pelotense...por trás das cortinas... um apanhado histórico

Abstract

In this work we seek to deepen the study based on the dance vision as a pedagogical possibility in the school context. In this way, we can notice that its practice at school, with a view towards education, still walks at a slow pace, but we realize that there are initiatives based on the valorization of an educational process through school dance. This study seeks as main objective to analyze the educational process of dance worked at Colégio Municipal Pelotense from the historical reconstruction of their memories. We also intend in a more specific way to reconstruct the memories of School Dance at Colégio Municipal Pelotense, to substantiate the ways in which dance is inserted in the school and its meaning in this context and to analyze the contribution of dance in school as an extra-class project, worked on Considering the objective of qualitatively characterizing the meaning and importance of dance at Colégio Municipal Pelotense, through memory and the reconstruction of a period in which I was a student and, soon after, a teacher at this same school, we seek to unravel memories, experiences, memories and the importance that dance has in the lives of the people involved in the project. Through an exploratory descriptive study we seek to unveil some elements of the story from the oral reports of the subjects involved, and in complementarity with the use of other written, iconographic, material sources etc. In this movement to understand this space, I authorized myself as a researcher, to give meaning to the speeches, becoming part of these narratives. The methods and instruments for data collection used in this study were: the semi-structured interview, in which we collected the testimonies of the two teachers who were in the group during an important trajectory in this context; for document analysis, materials produced both in dance classes, in shows and in document tracking, publications in city newspapers and collections that some students and former students have used were used. In the process of constructing the interpretation of results, analysis was used content based on the studies of Bardin.
