The text documents the research-creation process in the field of folk dance in coherence with one of the lines of research of the CEDINEP group that aims at the production of knowledge around dance, the body and creation. In this sense, the purpose is to systematize the information produced from the investigative, creative and educational experience generated by the students of the Professional Dance Program of the Universidad del Atlantico. For this, an initial project is built that takes into consideration the creative component in two perspectives or senses. The first, as part of the training process for future choreographers, directors or performers who are studying higher education in dance; and the second, one that focuses on the development of creation and research as undergraduate work experience to qualify for a professional degree.
