Abstract

The present proposal of a degree project, done as an internshiph, has the intention to develop a work plan to encourage dance learning, using the dance style of lyrical contemporary dance, for high school students of Gimnasio Aspaen Iragua, a private all-female school in the city of Bogotá. The age of the students ranges between 16 to 17 years old and they are in the ninth and tenth grades of high school. The dance learning space for the students was successfully managed within the class schedule and the author of this project assumed the roles of teacher, director, choreographer, dancer, and researcher documenting the entire process, which was carried out over a period of six months. The final outcomes showed not only progress in the dance skills of the studentes but also a deeper emotional connection with the choreographed dance pieces and these are the main results of this internship.
