Abstract:Dance is one of the ways of expressing feelings and mass dance, the result of the cultural industry, manages to reach a large audience through its rhythm and mediatic choreography. It is possible to verify in the school, the mass dance is increasingly present in the events and in the school breaks, and so the school can work the “mass dance” to rescue the values and the corporal experiences that the students bring with them, without losing sight of the formation of the subject in its entirety. In this context, the objective is to describe how the Physical Education teacher in the 1st year of high school can contribute to the integral formation of students from classes that include mass dance. For this, a field research of nature described with the observation form and application of questionnaires was developed that was directed to the students and the Physical Education teacher of the 1st year of High School at a Public School located in the Municipality of Paulista-PE. When observing the pedagogical practice of the Physical Education teacher, it was possible to verify that the diagnostic evaluation was the starting point for the planning of dance classes and the critical-overcoming approach was the basis for the development of classes from different strategies. Describing the work with mass dance in high school Physical Education classes did not have the objective of superimposing the theme of dance to other themes of school physical education, but rather to present alternatives for professionals in the area in dealing with mass dance in school in a way that contributes to the formation of the student in its entirety. It is concluded that the pedagogical actions involving mass dance in Physical Education classes made it possible for students, during the creation and execution of the movements, to carry out an intense reflection provided by the diversified strategies used in each class that required movements thought, created or adapted, to promote the experience with mass dance in a new guise, breaking with the alienation and the reproduction of this dance in the school environment to transcend the walls of the school and fulfill the educational and formative role proposed by the teaching of mass dance at school.
