TREVISANI, Priscila; SCHWARTZ, Gisele; RODRIGUES, Nara  and  TEODORO, Ana Paula. Education and training in dance: The inclusion of creative expression in the technical dance courses from the perspective of teachers and dancers. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.1, pp.185-206. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.6608.

This qualitative study aimed to investigate how the creative expression is included in the teaching and learning process of dance in technical courses from the viewpoint of dancers and teachers. This exploratory research was conducted by open questionnaire applied to an intentional sample composed by 10 teachers and 10 dancers enrolled in the technical courses of dance of Pirassununga-SP-Brazil. Data were descriptively analyzed, using the Content Analysis Technique. Results indicate that although creative expression is perceived as an effective way for making art and is emphasized for the didactic-pedagogic work, its inclusion is minimized in the educational context of dance, contrary to what happens with the technical aspects. Its development involves subjective aspects during the classes and it appears sparsely. Other studies are necessary in order to resize and revitalize this topic in the academic context.

Keywords : Dance; Creativity; Vocational training; Education.
