Classrooms
The classes we minister:
-
Circus
We use language from the circus world as a pedagogical tool in order to reach the tortuous path of education, inclusion and transformation of children and adolescents.
-
Jazz
This dance has a creative and distinctive perspective based on improvising within rhythm and musicality It is a way in which our students may learn a different type of expressing themselves.
-
Ballet
Classical ballet has the purpose of providing students the main three global aspects of dance: technique, musicality and acting skills. With the aim of disciplining our mind, soul and body, ballet dances are allowed to express themselves individually in an artistic way, what may change different aspects of their lives.
Know Manguinhos
Location
Manguinhos is placed in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro and one of the biggest neighborhoods constituted by favelas in our city. Because of its extension, we hold many social projects that assist with education, health care and accessibility for those who live here. One great example is The Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, the greatest research center in Brazil.
Population
In the year 2000, its Human Development Index (HDI), was 0.726 - the 122nd among 126 regions in the city of Rio de Janeiro at the time.
Story
Since the 80s, Manguinhos has been suffering an economic drain. This is happening because of its great rate of violence, leading industries around it to shut down or to transfer their business to other locations.
Cultura
Favela is a fertile ground to cultural creativity.Manguinhos has a rich and plural culture which are unknown to outsiders (and even delegitimized by some):Passinho, Capoeira, cultural gatherings, rap battles, graffiti, Samba schools, Classical Ballet, Circus and Jazz are some of them. It is the mix between art and life that makes hope to be addressed as culture.
