Dança jogateada: uma proposta divertida de dançar

Abstract

This research entitled “Dança Jogateada: a fun proposal for dancing” investigates the way I created to teach Dance classes. The classes were held with children from Elementary School 1 (1st to 5th year), from Escola Municipal Alto da Cachoeirinha Nelson Maleiro (EMAC), located in the neighborhood of Cabula VI, Salvador-Bahia. With this research, I seek to provide dynamic and playful Dance classes, contribute to the cognitive development of children in their broad spectrum (physical, intellectual and emotional) and structuring their body schema through movement education. At this stage, the child associates movements with awareness and manipulation of these and other concepts. With the proposal I bring for Jogateada Dance, the child moves according to their own possibilities and emotions, recognizing themselves and their limits, through methodological procedures that converge actions of playing, gaming and gamifying. In this research, I rely on Dionísia Nanni and Lenira Peral Rengel, who are Art references, and Helena Katz as a reference, and the entire collection of knowledge that I have. The didactic procedures used in Dança Jogateada are aimed at children at their own stage of development (providing the participation of all children in an active way), and for each child to be responsible for their perception and personal reactions (self expression). I intend to offer, with Jogateada Dance, rhythmic responses in movements through guided discoveries. As a result, I hope that sharing this work with my peers (teachers, students, dancers, researchers in the art of Dance and the like) will enable more children to develop self-knowledge.
