L'infinita alterità del corpo. La danza come strumento di educazione antirazzista

This article explores dance and the “dancing body” as broad categories capable of opening new spaces for dissemination and sharing within the performative, social, and pedagogical fields. Dance, as an expression of the sensitive body, possesses a universal emotional and communicative potential, revealing itself as a tool for ethical, aesthetic, and relational transformation. Through choreutic experiences developed in a recent doctoral research project in Costa Rica, the potential of dance is highlighted not only in enhancing kinesthetic skills but also as a practice of active and responsive presence in educational and social relationships. By generating a particular form of empathy that we might define as corporeal/kinesthetic and by revealing alternative ways of acting with the body in existence, dance becomes a promoter of aesthetic-ethical and political action. In this sense, it emerges as a tool for anti-racist education, fostering sensitivity to diversity and the richness of the multiple variations of colors and cultures that inhabit the world.
