Selective Process

An Invitation

The abundance of the various accents of spoken Portuguese in Brazil culminates in the voices and dance of PPGDança. We have students from all over Brazil and Latin America. We invite you to study with us and enrich your academic, professional, artistic and/or technical gain with updated pedagogical tools adapted to the reality of dance, promoting a closer relationship between the university and external public. You will study lines of thought that recognize theory and practice as coexisting instances in the process of producing knowledge of dance. You will study (if it is part of your research), an investigative methodology of traditional dances, Indigenous dances and Afro Brazilian dances through a theoretical approach that differs from folklorism and mystification. PPGDança incorporates artistic practices in the development of academic research. This is done through an innovative guided study method of the shared creative processes.
