O ENSINO DA DANÇA NAS ESCOLAS PARTICULARES DE VARGINHA

Abstract

An experimental research was carried out whose objective was to verify which private schools work with dance in the city of Varginha and how they work. The questionnaire by Barreto, 2008 was used. Dance is suggested by the National Curriculum Parameters (1997), as content to be taught to all elementary education in the areas of Arts and Physical Education. The survey also addresses the number and gender of participants who attend these classes. It was also asked where and in which shift these dances were taught as well as what the purpose of these dances was. The teacher's identity was also researched, such as educational background, age, education level and time working with dance. The survey showed that 17 private schools out of the 20 interviewed teach dance to their students, totaling 85% of the schools, although they work in a very diversified way, either technically or in an unidentified way.
