Espontaneidade e sistematização na prática do passo : a atividade do Coletivo Pé de Frevo em João Pessoa.

Abstract

This work aims to identify transformations caused by the Coletivo Pé de Frevo in the activities of its members related to frevo, investigating the relationship between art education and artistic practice based on historical-dialectical materialism. Throughout the 20th century, several new specialization proposals in dance emerged, highlighting the systematization of frevo by Nascimento do Passo. The Coletivo Pé de Frevo is characterized as a non-formal teaching environment, with its practice structured around the frevo teaching approach proposed by Valéria Vicente, who coordinates the Collective. This research contributes to documenting part of the history of frevo and its teaching in João Pessoa and reflects on the relationship between education and practice. The research adopts a qualitative approach, involving analysis of the Coletivo Pé de Frevo’s portfolio, the application of a questionnaire, conducting focus group, and literature review. The conclusion is that participation in the collective transformed individuals' awareness and engagement in frevo activities throughout the year.
