Os desafios da dança na modalidade remota: A experiência de uma pessoa com deficiência visual

Abstract

Dance is an artistic representation symbolized through gestures and movements. When we dance, regardless of whether we are seers or not, we participate in the construction of knowledge of movement, perceptions and sensations derived from the body and, in it, printed. This study aims to analyze the challenges of teaching dance in the remote modality for a visually impaired person. This is a participatory, descriptive research with a qualitative approach. A 26-year-old visually impaired woman participated in the research. Data collection was performed via Google Meet according to the following steps: 1) Initial interview and scheduling of class days and times; 2) Two classes per week, totaling eight classes, according to the following order of musical rhythms: carimbó, forró, axé, rock, sertanejo, international, funk, and combination of rhythms. 3) Class feedback questionnaire application, and 4) Final interview. The participant showed a very satisfactory performance during the eight classes held, despite the challenges faced. The challenges faced according to the participant were: lack of physical contact with the teacher, internet oscillation, movement delay in relation to the sound of music, lack of physical conditioning, among others. The results also show the development of autonomous behaviors by the participant, and benefits in the physical, social and also psychic aspects. More research is needed that configures new attempts at reflection that contemplate the teaching of dance, as well as the various forms of arts and leisure in a more sensorial and inclusive perspective.
