This work consists of experimenting with an alternative form of documentation of this type of percussion-dance interaction in Afro-Brazilian and African artistic dance groups based on the description of the visual attention of the participants. Among subjects in culture, this form of mutual rhythmic reading is carried out based on the observation of aspects of the dance, like vibration, giro, jump; and symbolic aspects, as movements related to the dances of the Orixás.
