Educação somática e iniciação ao balé clássico: a descoberta da consciência corporal de baby class e bailarinos iniciantes no processo de aquisição da técnica

Abstract

The general objective of this study is to analyze Klauss Vianna's technique in classical ballet practice, aiming to develop body awareness in children and beginner adults, in favor of better acquisition of the classical ballet technique. To achieve this objective, we used the qualitative approach methodology, by taking advantage of two experience reports carried out in 2024. The first report is about the development of body awareness in beginner adults in the process of acquiring the technique, working on self-knowledge and promoting self-investigation of the bodies to better understand them in their development, respecting their own physical limitations. And the second report emerged during the research, being the result of classes that the researcher has with children at a private school in the city of Manaus. As a result, it was observed that the use of the somatic approach in the initiation of a body technique helps in the process of learning movement, both in childhood and in adulthood. Klauss Vianna (2018), Jussara Miller (2007) and Flávia Spirópulos (2018) were adopted as the main references.
