Abstract

This dissertation discusses the methodological ways of teaching dance for early childhood in the school space. The main objective is confronted methodologies with colonial logic, to confront new ways based on afroperspective philosophy Ubuntu and Teko Porã. How do childhood poetics contribute to a decolonial dance? We start from the afro-centered action, understanding how the navel can guide the studies of the body and our stories. We arrived at the Maria Felipe school, in Salvador, tracking children from 3 to 5 years old in their dance classes, exchanging poetic experiences, registered in ethnography records with the support of bricolage. Surviving the covid-19 pandemic, this research understands love as the greatest ancestral pedagogical resource.
