O legado de Oldimar Vieira Leite para a dança paraibana.

Abstract

Oldimar Vieira Leite became a professional dancer in 1979 and began to act in an artistic way in dance, focusing mainly on acting as a dancer and teacher. In 1993 he returned to Paraíba, his home state, developing projects to encourage the visibility of dance and to approach dancers from other states. There he gradually built a memorable history, his legacy in dance. For this reason, this research aimed to recover its trajectory, analyzing and presenting the legacy built, preserved and perpetuated from the students and other masters with whom it related artistically. To this end, a bibliographic research, of a biographical nature, was developed through documentary records and testimonies. His legacy is presented through the memories and influence that his performance left in those who knew him, awakening the passion and respect for dance. Thus, it was concluded that the legacy of Oldimar Vieira Leite, documented throughout this work, is something subjective, but also effective and real. The subjective side is put when his memory and influence gains scope when it is preserved in the memory of those who were his students. , in addition to being objectively continued through those who present classical ballet as their artistic expression and transmit the knowledge received, until today.
