Os abraços e suas relações afetivas nas danças de salão na escola Cenário Arte e Cultura de João Pessoa

Abstract

This conclusion work course is a proposal of a sensitive look at the acts of embracing and being embraced during the Salon Dance classes at Cenário Arte e Cultura school, in the city of João Pessoa - PB. Aiming to intertwine the areas of knowledge of the Salon Dance classes mixed with the degree in Dance experienced at the Federal University of Paraíba with the philosophy of Spinoza (2009), an interdisciplinary perspective is sought. In the first moment, by understanding the paths taken until the perception of the embrace as a primordial element in the Salon Dance classes, the act of embracing while dancing is treated as a sensitive practice that propitiates corporal communication. Later on, understanding what an embrace is, revealing what is understood from the common sense of this act, places the embrace as a relational action. When we come across a hug, we already connect its name, which is an action and, consequently, needs to be noun, verb and complement. Thus, this act is related to the bodily singularities of each person, understanding that, even when hugging each person, it does so in a unique way, whether for anatomical and/or social reasons. Finally, the hug as a transmission of affection that is given by affections is approached from Spinoza from the common sense about what is understood about affections. By demythologizing and presenting the expanded sense of affection, this work approaches the understanding of how bodies transmit affections through the existing hugs in the teaching and learning of the Salon Dance classes.
