Aspectos simbólicos acerca da popularização das danças manifestadas nas redes sociais

Abstract

The dance employs its own language, practiced by humans for a long time, involving a corporeal communication that distinguishes it from other types of culture. The purpose of this work is to comprehend the meanings and significance of dances manifested on social media for their practitioners. Additionally, it aims to understand how these dances are experienced in the 21st century and the perception people have of culture regarding these corporeal practices. This consideration takes into account a rising phenomenon in contemporary society, referred to here as "Dancinhas" (little dances). In addition to this objective, the study also seeks to identify possible connections between Urban Dance and the growing phenomenon of dances manifested on social media. It also analyzes correlations between the concepts of cultural industry, popular culture, and creative culture in the manifestation of these dances on social media. Lastly, the research aims to analyze how dances expressed on social media impact the lives of their practitioners. The investigations focus on these types of cultures and their relationship with leisure. For this particular research, a phenomenological method was employed, which, in summary, seeks to perceive the human being based on their facticity.

Eleven individuals of both genders were interviewed for the study, responding to a semi- structured questionnaire designed to assess the proposal of this research. To understand and

analyze cultural frameworks, the authors Arantes (2017), Bosi (1992), Coelho (1980), Chartier (1995), Elias (1992), Gomes (2004), and Mascarenhas (2005) were utilized. They contribute to our understanding of how leisure practices relate to these types of corporeal activities. Keywords: Urban Dances. Culture. Dancinhas. Leisure.
