Dança de salão no ensino médio - o ensino-aprendizagem do respeito entre os gêneros

Abstract

The disrespect between genders is a multiple and complex phenomenon that has highlighted many controversies and ethical-political questions. Basically driven by patriarchal culture gender violence has directly affected society as a whole mainly within the school. This paper proposes to articulate principles that soften the conflicts of gender within the school environment using the practice of the Ballroom Dance as a promoter of morality and respect. Sixteen students from the first year of the Secondary School of Dom Bosco Leste College were selected to participate in the research through the intervention of the Ballroom Dance and semi-structured interviews, separated by gender, before and after the intervention. The relationships that the research subjects established with this dance strand and their influence on their behaviors were observed and compared. The data obtained through a comparison between the interpersonal relations of both genders presented before and after the intervention gave subsidy to the analysis of the importance of the practice of Ballroom Dance in the interaction of morality and respect between genders.
