Abstract

Within the socio-spatial dynamics of the city of Fortaleza, this article seeks to analyze the social projects of dance in the capital of Ceará, making an empirical appreciation and a theoretical reflection of them. It is also intended to make these Fortaleza institutions visible in the sense of exposing the roles and social practices carried out. More precisely, it is discussed the role of these organization in the lives of children and adolescents living in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability, paralleling the process of urbanization of the city. Based on a phenomenological and geographical basis for the construction of methodological paths, semi-structured interviews, fieldwork and the consultation and analysis of news and journalistic texts are used as the main methodological triad of the research. It also discusses how and why the process of social marginalization occurs in the city of Fortaleza, and presents, finally, how the art of dance can help children and young people in the search for a dignified and meaningful existence through the exercise of citizenship.
