Dança de salão: perspectiva de ensino para inclusão

Abstract

This research has a qualitative and participative character, developed from adaptations of ballroom dancing for a student with Down Syndrome (SD), at the PraDançar Academy where, as a ballroom dance teacher, I developed a pedagogical process for the student to be included in the classes of that dance and a posteriori to participate in a dance show with security and autonomy. This study aims to suggest pedagogical alternatives from the teaching of ballroom dance to people with disabilities, especially Down Syndrome, in order to include them in this dance practice. In this sense, the present work is supported by the teaching process in a non-school space in view of the presence of doubts in the learning of ballroom dancing in an individual with Down Syndrome.
