Dança, louvor e adoração: relato de um projeto de ensino desenvolvido na comunidade cristã de Uiraúna (PB)

Abstract

The present work has as its theme the teaching of dance in the context of Christian communities and was based on an experience report of a project carried out with people from the community of Uiraúna, Paraiba, linked to the Peniel Dance Ministry. The purpose of this work is to emphasize the relevance of dance in the liturgy as part of the worship of the Lord. To this end, it was necessary to present to the youth a brief historical survey of dance in antiquity and the Middle Ages, as well as highlighting biblical passages that relate moments in which man relates to the Divine through dance. Extensive videographic material was also used as a source of appreciation, which is one of the pillars of art education. The aspects of study and technical preparation were also approached in order to improve performance during times of praise and worship performed through dance. For the theoretical structuring of the work, a literature review was performed based on dance historiography and some didactic procedures applied to dance teaching.
