Dança de salão : memórias e narrativas dos salões de dança em Aracaju

Abstract

The present research arose out of personal interest in knowing how the ballroom dances in Aracaju in the 1960s and 1970s were, and aims to enrich the record collection on ballroom dancing in the Sergipe capital. To do this, it was necessary to use the reports of people who attended dance halls in the decades cited. For a clarification about the dances performed at the time, it was necessary to use the memories of these dancers and to search in the accounts for the details about the performance of the ballroom dance, described by the protagonists of this art. In making this survey, it came to the knowledge that they used to dance styles from the dance of the Rio de Janeiro.
