This article is the result of a study on the repercussions of Classical Ballet practices in higher education in the Performing Arts, which prompted a triangulation of studies on dance, Labanian Thought, and the dialogical perspective of Bakhtin and the Circle. This work discusses the notion of “sign-body”. It concludes by understanding the body as a living instance, which dives into the immaterial culture of its society to incorporate and aesthetically arrange the signs pulsating within it; thus, it is considered a sign-body, which utters enunciation-dancing loaded with multiple voices, impregnated with meaning and capable of expanding its plastic and evaluative horizon.

Keywords : Sign-Body; Enunciation-Dancing; Higher Education in the Performing Arts.
