GENDER AND DANCE: CONCEPTIONS OF PRIMARY EDUCATION MUSIC TEACHERS

There is a kind of code of behavior in the collective imagination that leads men and women to act in a certain way according to the context in which they find themselves. The objective of this work has been to know the conception of Primary School teachers about gender and to analyze the possible relations that exist between it and dance in educational contexts. It has been designed a quantitative analytical research in which there were a total of 81 participants. The results revealed that most teachers surveyed did not have a stereotypical conception of gender, although not all were aware that dance is a reflection of the stereotypes present in society. Likewise, the participating female teachers showed a greater consideration of dance as a female activity compared to male teachers.
