It was constructed a theoretical matrix to found the development of the sensitive experiences at the dance lessons in school physical education, upon the areas of education, physical education, art-education and dance. It was approached the relation between knowledge, experience and the dance into the human movement from an esthetic view, that is, to contemplate the living of sensitive experiences in the school environment. It was concluded that the lessons planning and the lessons organizations, utilizing the way and the esthetic confrontation, arranged by the teacher and constructed for and with the students, can make possible the living of the sensitive experiences in the dance of the school environment. It also stands out the development of the critic esthetic look of the educator, so that it can propitiate space to construct the '' available bodies '' and '' openings '' for the dance itself. So, therefore, the dance of the school figures out as an action full of meanings and senses intersubjectively shared, oriented and mediated by the teacher under the perspective of making possible the sensitive livings, artistic and esthetic.
