Liking Portuguese dance for its own sake

A Dança Portuguesa a Gostar dela Própria (Liking Portuguese dance for its own sake) is a research project, creating a video register and promoting all the different dance styles from the whole country.

A Dança Portuguesa a Gostar Dela Própria collects traditional Portuguese dances danced by folklore groups and other kinds of dance groups, who are the protagonists in the preservation of traditional choreographies. However, this project also includes traditional dances of other origin which are currently danced in our country, as well as urban and contemporary dances.

A Dança Portuguesa a Gostar Dela Própria aims at preserving traditional dance and music, fusing it with contemporary elements and making it appealing and accessible for a wide range of audiences. Besides, this project tries to initiate reflection about the role of dance as a tool to find identity, to value traditional knowledge, to express oneself, and to recognise and interact with others.

A Dança Portuguesa a Gostar Dela Própria also continues the mission of PédeXumbo, the promotion of traditional music and dance in Portugal. It is the first element of a portal for dances, which provides detailed information on the music and choreographies and sheds light on their backgrounds, their origins and the people behind them.

Enter this virtual laboratory, experiment, discover and dance on a choreographic journey through Portugal and contribute keeping Portuguese dance alive and dynamic.
