    Associação Cultural Incomodança, South America
  Rua Cristovão Colombo, 525 D - Funcionários - Belo Horizonte, MG            
A Associação Cultural Incomodança surge em 2004, à priori, com o intuito de servir como base legal e estrututral ao trabalho desenvolvido pela Incomodança Cia de Danças de Salão, por meio da criação de uma sede em que o corpo de baile pudesse fixar suas raízes e se desenvolver de forma mais livre e contínua. A partir do caráter social que a entidade associação possui, surgiu a idéia de se trabalhar de forma autônoma um terceiro pilar: o social. Propondo um projeto assistencial a crianças e jovens em situação de risco social. O Incomodança Solidária, projeto em fase de elaboração, propõe utilizar a dança de salão como ferramenta para a inserção social dos menores de forma ampla, proporcionando-lhes uma atividade lúdica, um momento de desenvolvimento da socialização, do respeito ao próximo e até mesmo apresentar-lhes a dança de salão enquanto uma profissão em potencial, a de professor de dança ou bailarino. A Incomodança acredita no potencial dessa arte, na capacidade que a dança de salão tem de resgate da humanidade, da identidade sócio-cultural e por isso enxerga-a não como um produto, mas sim como uma filosofia de vida. Esperamos contagiar a todos com nossa vontade de servir como atores sociais e contribuir para a transformação do quadro social que se apresenta hoje em Belo Horizonte, em Minas e no Brasil. Nossa Associação está de portas abertas para aqueles que queiram ajudar nesta empreitada. Entre em contato conosco. E seja bem vindo!
