The objective of this work is to bring the attention to the popular expressions of rural and urban communities of the hinterlands, focusing on the Dance of São Gonçalo, Catira and Cateretê, derived from common and ritual dances of the indigenous peoples of Brazil.Due to the influence of catholic rituals introduced to the New World by the Portuguese during the first years of Brazil's colonization, through the catechism of the Companhia de Jesus, this study points to the Jesuit missionary José de Anchieta as its central figure.It is necessary to acknowledge accomplishments of this apostle as a missionary, writer, poet, educator, linguist and artist, creator of a new language derived from a mix of Tupi-Guarani, Latin and Portuguese, which he named "Nheengatu".This new language was adopted by the Portuguese colonizers, the natives, priests, explorers and uncivilized peoples, and was the official language of Brazil until the Jesuits were expelled from South America by the Portuguese Crown in 1727.Nevertheless, the language continued to be spoken by the colonizers of the new lands, and evolved into what is known today as the Caipira dialect.Anchieta, besides being the founder, together with Father Manoel da Nóbrega, of the village of Piratininga, known today as the city of São Paulo, is also considered the founder of the Brazilian Theater, due to his Autos, the religious plays created to convert the indigenous peoples.As an artist and researcher, with the help of other authors with whom we can exchange ideas, we intend to focus our gaze on the artist, educator and catechist José de Anchieta.Through analysis and reflection perhaps we will uncover a new view on the issue: of how the Jesuit José de Anchieta employed the many forms of artistic expression like theater, music, song, dance, oral traditions, prayers, processions and their manifestations to relate to the indigenous peoples, leaving behind the legacy of Caipira culture.Is this tradition of passing down knowledge and spiritual belief still present in the teachings and spiritual practices of the indigenous and caipira communities we study today?As an artist and educator, how do I set forth this ancestral heritage?A break in time and space: a moment at a crossroads -a pandemic overtakes the planet in 2020 e 2021.Time to rebuild paths.Reflect on life.New ways to live
