This article sets out to reflect on the strategies of improvisation as a potentially insurgent act. By approaching it as a cognitive skill aimed at solving problems, it seeks to draw possible distinctions between actions performed daily and artistically, obviously considering the relationships between bodies and their contexts, in order to observe the fact that cognitive behaviors are not immune to the biosocial order established and constructed by the macrosystem. It also addresses some historical traits to highlight the way improvisation was thought of by Western artistic movements within the area of dance knowledge. And, from the recognition of the epistemological ascendancy of romantic ballet and modern dance in the formation of the dancing body in Brazil, it observes the resilient presence of some of its traits in current artistic productions.
