RESUMO

This study is about the learning of the Zouk dance and has the aim to understand how the student coordinate the information at the moment of learning as well as to observe the way he reacts and orientates himself from the received information. The observations involve the way how the student tries to adequate the body to the gestual to accomplish the movement of the feet as well as to move with the music. The subjects of this study were 23 adults that were attending Zouk dance classes within two private schools and an university situated in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Data were collected during the months of August and September, 2011. The present research is supported by some theoreticians like Braun, Rebouças and Ranvaud (2009), Caregnato (2011), Fraisse (1974), Rocha (2008) and Wachowicz (2010). From the results, it is understood that the Zouk dance learning depends on the construction of the mental representation of gesture. Until the construction of the internal image occurs, the learner needs to choose sources of information to accomplish the tasks. I highlight the visual information indicated by the learners as the main source of information at the time of learning and the importance of the teacher as model and reference. Regarding the rhythmic aspects, it was found that the teacher s voice, using syllables and emphases, solidifies details of the rhythm. To learn the characteristic movements of the dance, the learner adjust the body to the downbeat of the music before understanding the musical time. The results of this study should contribute with reflections about the way to teach dance, using the specific Zouk music in a way to optimize the learning of the characteristic movement.
