摘要:We have analyzed dance as a content in School Physical Education Classes. We understand that there is a lack of discussion on dance as a content to be approached in the school environment. We recognize its presence at school, either via Physical Education classes or via Art Education classes. Its presence, however, occurs out of the context of the discussion about cultural selection, undertaken by the school syllabi. This study is part of the dissertation “Knowledge in the school syllabi: the content dance in physical education classes on an analytical perspective”. KEY WORDS: Dance - Physical Education - Pedagogical practice.
