Como contribuir para a Wiki
DanceResource é uma plataforma dinâmica e de código aberto, impulsionada pela sua comunidade. Seja você dançarino(a), facilitador(a), pesquisador(a) ou simplesmente curioso(a), suas contribuições nos ajudam a expandir, preservar e compartilhar o conhecimento coletivo da dança consciente. Juntos, podemos fomentar um recurso vibrante, cientificamente fundamentado e inclusivo.
Este guia explica como você pode participar ativamente na construção e aprimoramento da wiki.
