ABSTRACT

The objective of this undergraduate thesis is to reflect on the importance of the

extracurricular internship in the teacher training of students of the Dance Major, therefore, I
present as a research excerpt my experience as a Dance intern at the Federal Institute of
Pernambuco - Campus Recife, in 2015. Shortly after the transfer of Black Escobar, the main
responsible for the insertion and development of Dance at IFPE, to the Federal Institute of
São Paulo, there was a selection for an intern in which I was selected, becoming the first
conductor-training in the field of Dance. The importance of such internship for my teacher
education made it the object of research of this work. Methodologically, the research was
developed as a Case Study, based on my participant observation, memories of artistic-
educational processes, photographic records and an interview with Black Escobar. The
theoretical contribution is composed of authors from the field of Dance-Education
(MARQUES, 2010; 2012), (MORANDI; ESTRAZZACAPA, 2006); (VIEIRA, 2019) and
Education (FREIRE, 1996). The research brought important data to the field of Dance: the
reach and contributions that the teaching of Dance, at IFPE, in the sociocultural formation of
the subjects involved, furthermore, it corroborated the importance of the internship in the
formation and construction of the teacher's identity of the teacher of Dance.
