Abstract

Dance is culture, it is communication, it is body expression, and it must be inserted in the school environment, as it helps in the global development of children, contributing to their socialization process. This research originated through a problem identified during Physical Education classes, in one of the classes of the Initial Years of Elementary School, in a Municipal School in the City of Goioerê, where there was a lack of socialization between genders during the activities and had with the objective of presenting, through scientific studies and theoretical references, the contributions that dance can promote in the social development of children, in order to minimize this problem. Considerations about dance in the school context, its contributions to social development and proposals to promote socialization among students through this content were presented. It is concluded that dance contributes to the process of integral formation of students and, through the benefits presented, collaborates significantly to improve the interaction between genders in the school environment.
