Pessoas com deficiência no ensino superior em dança: um panorama de egressos dos cursos de graduação na região Sudeste do Brasil

Abstract

The study aims to analyze, based on institutional data and public documents, the presence of people with disabilities who graduated from the undergraduate dance course in Southeast Brazil, in the period from 2015 to 2025. Aiming to reflect on institutional support and the Brazilian education legislation for these. It is characterized as quantitative-qualitative research and methodologically uses an exploratory study using documentary and bibliographic data and data collection through a questionnaire that will be applied anonymously and voluntarily. The study is based on the understanding that there are still few investigations that address the training of people with disabilities in the area of Dance, seeking to understand how higher education contributed (or not) to the professional performance of graduates with disabilities. The work does not previously delimit the types of disability, as it seeks to understand the formative trajectories in their diversity. It is hoped that the results will contribute to broaden the understanding of demographic panoramas of people with disabilities in Brazil, distribution of courses and academic paths, offering reflections in the field of dance training.
