Educação física escolar e dança: um estudo sobre os trabalhos publicados no CONBRACE.

Abstract

Dance is a knowledge that transits in school spontaneously, but also systematically within curricular components such as Physical Education. The challenges to approach dance within a curriculum proposal are countless. Given this, what has been studied and published about dance and school in academic-scientific events of Physical Education? This monograph makes a literature review of texts published in the Brazilian Congress of Sports Sciences (CONBRACE), on dance in School Physical Education, from 2017 to 2021, analyzing the problematizations that accompany the teaching and learning of dance in school. The results show that different regions of the country are interested in this knowledge in different ways, from the dance modalities addressed to the problematizations and thematizations carried out from this cultural expression. The analyzed studies also demonstrate the sensitivity of the subject in adverse situations, such as the pandemic, and the pedagogical challenges that surround dance at school. We conclude, among other issues, how much dance is necessary to broaden a perspective of integral education and to break cultural prejudices at school and within Brazilian society.
