Dance and racism: Critical notes on the teaching of dance history

Authors

Abstract

This article elaborates some brief considerations on the teachings of dance history in universities. The goal is to discuss institutionalized racism in higher education dance environments through critical notes on the contents of a hegemonic and colonial nature applied to the teaching-learning of dance history. In addition, it aims to draw attention to the urgency of creating another dimension of knowledge production, in order to ensure that broad visibility is given to marginal and peripheral histories in the context of dance education.
