The muse of dance Terpsikhórê calls me to eksistir:

the look at oneself, at the world, at the lives of people who practice dance under the perspective of Phenomenology

Abstract

Art is part of our lives and influences us every day, whether we realize it or not, and over the years it has evolved and occupy a very important space in society, as some of its representations are indispensable for many people today. current. And among the arts, I place dance and its extensive collaboration in the procedural nature of existing. The study aims to understand the multidimensionality of dancing in the historicity of people who dance and/or live from dance under the perspective of Martin Heidegger's phenomenological theory. The qualitative research bias is used considering the parameters of the phenomenological method through an experience report. The narrative brings some thematic categories, namely: a) And dance comes to me: the beginning of everything; b) Dance and Adolescence: the lived world of a dancer; c) Life being life in its coming and going: moving away from dancing is necessary; d) The inevitable return: the dance transcends my own se; e) The multidimensionality of dance and its senses and meanings: beyond ballet; f) Of the lessons that dance brought me: perspectives and possibilities of the continuous becoming. I conclude that with dancing I am free to be myself, or whoever I want to be for a moment, I free myself, I assemble and disassemble, I do and remake, I simply transform myself. Dancing is my way of catharsis, it's more than just a hobby, it's a part of who I am, a piece of me.
