Valuing afro dance in the classroom: Afrocentricity and education

Abstract

Dance, as a form of human expression, brings with it a rich history dating back to the most ancient times.  Although it is often framed as art, its versatility goes further, being used not only for artistic purposes but also as a means of communication between human beings and, in some cultures, as a form of connection with deities. In this way, dance not only enriches the artistic sphere, but also intertwines with the human experience, becoming intrinsic to our being and existing in the world.
