Gira vida: a dança no contexto da educação em tempo integral

Abstract

Through this research and based on the experience of the Gira Vida group with circular dances, cirandas and circle games, we sought to discuss the importance of circular dancing in a full-time educational environment, and understand circular dancing as an educational process in social, artistic and cultural training, which allows the student to acquire control over their movements through daily group exercises, so that they develop their artistic taste and participate in cooperative activities, bringing together reason and emotion, cognition and affection, efficient allies in the process of teaching and learning. Furthermore, it was hoped to enable different experiences of appropriation of school and educational times and spaces, provided by inclusion in the Project: Gira Vida- Circular Dances.
