It has specific objectives: to present the circular dance in a relational context between the subjects; to relate the concepts of welcoming and amorous to circular dance; to identify flags of hospitality, in the bonds marked by the welcoming and amorousness, as a result of the circular dance. In theoretical terms, it is transdisciplinary, involves studies on circular dance, body, hospitality, welcoming and amorousness. The Cartography of Saberes, proposed by Baptista, is the methodological orientation for the production of this study, with the realization of the tracks of personal knowledge, theoretical knowledge and the production plant. Investigative approaches were carried out, with a bibliographical survey, development of dance interventions in several environments and observation of the participant body. In practical actions, direct observation, participant observation, talk wheels, experiences reports and experimentation with circular dance development. The results indicated that the development of circular dance, in several environments, provided the participants with a feeling of well-being, close ties, welcoming and love. Circular dance is a way of integrating the body and its expressiveness, in a situation of communication and expression. It is capable of triggering thought and exploring creativity, to improvise and, at the same time, to establish the connection of exchange with this 'other', the unknown. It is a cooperative practice, involving a new way of dealing with human relations in work teams and daily life, as our ancestors certainly did. It provides a sense of belonging and causes ease in bodies, relaxation and relationship. There is an increase in physical, mental, emotional, energetic and social well-being in the process that stitches interpersonal relationships. By touching and being touched in the circular dance, there is the insertion of the permission to be involved, fluidity necessary for the constitution of emotions, welcoming and love, which, in turn, will have different results, generating conditions of hospitality.
