O funk na escola: Apontando estratégias de ensino nas aulas de dança

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to develop reflections on the study of funk as a dance genre within the school context and to explore possible teaching strategies for this genre aimed at young students in public schools. The methodological approach involved action research with a qualitative descriptive focus, using the Cheerleading Group of Municipal School Professor Severino Bezerra de Melo as the field for pedagogical intervention. It was observed that the teaching of this cultural movement can be recontextualized in various ways within the school environment through historical contextualization of the genre, the appreciation of documentaries and images reflecting the theme, and the production of materials used during the classes. These strategies contribute significantly to rethinking the methods of teaching and learning dance in schools.
