Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the teaching and training target of physical education teachers who take their students to participate in the Dance Municipality Exhibit of the 2nd CRE (Coordenadoria Regional de Educação – Regional Education Coordination) in Rio de Janeiro, considering the purposes and specificity of the teaching of dance as a curriculum element. The survey is classified as descriptive and qualitative. The sample was made up of eleven physical education teachers working in the public schools in the elementary school in the city of Rio de Janeiro, from the 1st to the 9th grade in the 2nd CRE. The instrument applied to collect data was a validated questionnaire. The results indicate that teachers are guiding their selection criteria based on students’ interest or ability in performance, such as those that include all the class students in the works. It was also detected that there is resentment from some teachers when their groups are not chosen, left behind by groups of special students. It was observed that not all the teachers perceive the event as the peak of an educational process in which the dance is the tool. Those teachers think the goal of the event is much more show-oriented than teaching-directed.Downloads
