Abstract

This study aims to understand how the extension project “Caregivers who dance” has been occupied/experienced by women participants based on analyses of implications and learnings produced and specially of self-care in that space. This is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study. Participants included fifteen mothers and/or guardians who care for people with intellectual disabilities. It concludes that the space-time of the experience in the project encouraged participants to reassert their social role beyond that of caregivers of disabled people, as they discovered themselves to be able to experience their limits and possibilities in both life and dance.
