This article is a synthesis of “A body experience at school, an analysis of pedagogical practices around the Carnival of Blacks and Whites (CNB) in the city of San Juan de Pasto-Colombia” research. The analysis addressed knowledge put into practice during school training processes under the CNB context, based on the notion of pedagogic practice, from which moments and strategies for the methodological path are proposed. The research is framed within the qualitative paradigm, with a hermeneutic approach that uses discourse analysis to identify knowledge and relationships affecting the configuration of embodiment from artistic dance standpoints in the CNB. This approach is the result of linking research in arts with tools that enable social sciences to unravel the fabric of meanings, places, and epistemological struggles around knowledge.The relationship between teacher, school, and knowledge immersed in a carnival, in addition to responding to collective commitments to preserve cultural expressions, deals with the possibility of reading the school from other points of view and redefine knowledges that are then generated as well as those associated with artistic practices. As part of the study findings, tensions around the concept of academic school and the carnival school arise, as well as the role of teachers in linking pedagogical practices with the cultural knowledge of the carnival and its traditions when transferring it to teaching and learning at school.
