Guarda chuva vernacular: street dance, dança de rua, danças urbanas e suas possíveis diferenciações

Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the distinct meanings and contexts surrounding the concepts of street dance, dança de rua, and urban dances. The objective is to examine how these three concepts are employed within academic circles and how precise definitions for each can enhance their usage in respective contexts, thereby strengthening the research field of each in its unique aspects. Additionally, this research clarifies the differing applications and contexts of these concepts. To facilitate understanding, a parallel analysis of hip-hop freestyle dance and other genres encompassed by these concepts will be conducted. A bibliographic approach will engage with theorists, academic researchers, and practitioners of urban vernacular culture, including Henrique Bianchine and Vanessa Garcia.
