Abstract

This study aims to describe the offer of subjects in the Area of Dance in the curricular structures of the bachelor's and licentiate degree courses in Physical Education of Brazilian federal and state universities. This is a research of quantitative approach, of documentary type, in which its source is from the "e-MEC" database of Ministry of Education. Evidence has revealed the predominance of the offer of only one subject, of a mandatory nature, regardless of the course and geographic region. Rethinking curricular structures is recommended to leverage the application and expand the possibilities of theoretical-practical transposition in the Area of Dance in the initial training in Physical Education.
