The GRACE research group was founded in 2010 with the following purposes: to foster the academic and scientific works of the BA in Dance at UFRGS; to exchange research experiences between teachers and students from the BA in Dance/UFRGS; and to articulate the teachers and students research projects, encouraging the continuing education and relationship between graduate and postgraduate programmes. GRACE participants are researchers-professors, graduate and undergraduate students from UFRGS; and national and international external researchers.
