Abstract

The research project entitled “Afro-referenced Dance in Public School: for the recognition of the black body in childhood” seeks to re-signify and strengthen the self-esteem of students in the final grades of fundamental I, 4th and 5th grade, through the appreciation of black culture, the feeling of belonging, rights, cultural and human formation and the fight against racism. It seeks to develop practices that encourage self-love and self-recognition and the black body in these students' childhood, through dance, lectures and reflections on our historical roots with greater acceptance of their color, enabling experiences where the black child sees himself in a different way potent, thus deconstructing the idea of a unique story that was told to us about our black ancestry. The project was developed at the Municipal School Lélis Piedade located in the community of Cosme de Farias in Salvador - Bahia. The activities took place once a week during the period between the months of September and December 2021, ending with the exhibition of an Orí-entado Guide entitled “Women Black References in Dance in Salvador-Bahia”.
