Resumo: Through a panoramic analysis of the presence of dance in cinema, from the beginning to the contemporaryproduction, we realize that it can emerge sometimes as an integral and structuring part of the film, in the musical genre, and sometimes as a contrasting and disruptive element, in non-musical films. While sketching an aesthetic of corporeal movements in audiovisual works, we assume that sound cinema, in a way, silences the body dynamics on the screen, by focusing onspeech and the meaning of words, eliminating or considerably reducing all thevisual and semantic powers contained in the incredible expressive rhetoric of bodies. Can dance, the natural shelter of a certain irrational gestural impulse,serve, as Béla Balázs proposed, to make us be affected by a film in a direct and unequivocal way, as if it were music?

Por meio de uma análise panorâmica da presença da dança no cinema, desde os primórdios até a produção contemporânea, percebemos que ela pode emergir ora como parte integrante e estruturante do filme, nogênero musical, ora como um elemento contrastante e disruptivo, em filmes não musicais. Ao esboçarmos uma estética da movimentação dos corpos em obras audiovisuais, partimos do pressuposto de que o cinema sonoro de certo modo silencia a dinâmica corporal na tela ao concentrar seu foco na fala e no sentido das palavras, eliminando ou reduzindo consideravelmente toda a potência (plástica, mas também semântica) contida na incrível retórica expressiva dos corpos. Será que a dança, abrigo natural de certa pulsão gestual irracional, pode servir, como propunha Béla Balázs, para que sejamos atingidos por um filme de maneira direta e inequívoca, como se fosse uma música?
