Dança na escola: jogos corporais no ensino da dança na educação infantil.

Abstract

This paper aims to present and discuss an experience of teaching dance through body games in early childhood education. This study focuses on a teaching period with children of 3 and 4 years, in the Alexia Luana dos Santos Cesario daycare center, which is located in Cabedelo - PB. In it I relate this teaching practice with bibliographical references of Creative Dance, Dance Pedagogy and Theatrical Games. My teaching practice was encouraged by the reflections and activities conducted during the Degree in Dance course at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). Especially because of the influences of the discipline called Improvisation in Theater, taught by Heráclito Cardoso and the Kangaroo project. The research methodology is the intersection of the description of the class procedures I taught, with the theories of Maria Fux (1983), Thais Ferreira and Maria Fonseca Flakemberg (2012), Isabel Marques (2007, 2010), Johan Huizinga (2012) , Lucia Helena P. Pereira (2010), Henri Wallon (2007) and Viola Spolin (2001), Lenira Rangel (2003) and Juliana da Costa Ribeiro (2018).
