Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação) – Faculdade de Educação Física e Dança, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2022.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20681This work is a qualitative research and autoethnographic inspiration, which aims to answer why is it important to have a dancing old age? Understanding how dance can contribute to quality of life is significant in this work. Dance is central to the work to understand aging and old age itself in our society, while referring to this aging process and to old people to deepen the understanding of dance. The work problematizes the terms “elderly” and “old” and dialogues the experiences in an indigenous society with the practices of ballroom dance classes and balls, all with the support of a decolonial approach.porAcesso AbertoDançaEnvelhecimentoQualidade de vidaDanceAgingQuality of lifeTCC
