SOARES, Rodrigo Lemos  and  DILLMANN, Mauro. DANCES IN TERRACES: education of bodies for the spinners at Quimbanda. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.62, pp.144-156.  Epub Feb 09, 2022. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.%y.49498.

Dances, in terraces, are constituent elements of specific characters of expressiveness, they reiterate identities. The article in question problematizes the education of bodies in relation to the dances of exus and pombagiras, in terraces of Quimbanda, in the city of Rio Grande / Rio Grande do Sul. We used, for this, concepts such as education of bodies and dances, to discuss these manifestations in Quimbanda terraces. Dances in terraces, specifically, exus and pombagiras, are linked with notions about what it means to be a religious subject, who belongs to a specific place, a religious expressiveness. Dancing, from the mythologies of the exus or pombagiras, is understood here as sociocultural events, which is based on notions of belonging. The theoretical contribution of this text is centered on the cultural studies, in its post-structuralist aspect and the narratives were produced from structured interviews, the data being observed under a cultural analysis. We consider, then, that the dances, make up the ritualistic apparatus of the terraces, in addition, they have no unique character and signal productions of identities. Thus, we specify that dancing in these places is a symbiotic manifestation between entities and subjects, which results in a form of expression of religiosity.

Keywords : education of bodies; dance; Quimbanda.
