The research has, as its main question, what is the meaning of "bailes negros" for São Paulo and urban problematic.The "baile" (ball) while a signifier enrolled in the space-time of the metropolis carries what meanings to its attendants, to those who do not attend, to those who think of exits for this inhuman (re) production of the city?Based on the method of progressive-regressive analysis proposed by Henri Lefebvre, using bibliographical research, interviews, field observations and material collection, the discussion begins with the "baile nostalgia", a contemporary cultural manifestation of the "bailes negros".Starting from the "baile nostalgia", the research was conducted through the whole trajectory of the relation of the black population to the dances since post-abolition, in which three periods with specific characteristics were categorized: the "bailes negros", since abolition of slavery till 1958; the "bailes black", from 1958 to 1994; and the current "bailes nostalgia", from 1995 to 2016, principal year in the field observations and interviews.The dances were understood as a form of encounter with contents related to the struggles, resistances and experienced of the black population in São Paulo in articulation with the process of production of this urban space, which is done in a socially and racialized unequal way.Among these contents are the production of a public life in the city, the center-periphery relationship that is set in the middle of the twentieth century and the corporal, collective and political memory of blacks in a context in which the reproduction of space is done producing amnesic spaces and an ephemeral sociability of time, which directly affects the identity and life referents of the population of São Paulo.The meanings of the "bailes negros" for São Paulo, then, are diverse, woven into a plot in which the black net is made and remakes having the ball as one of its nodes.The dances mean, for blacks, whites and poor people, to live the city in the counterlogic of the reproduction of space under the capitalist logic that denies life constantly in favor of the critical overcoming of its inherent crises of reproduction
