This study aimed to analyze the involvement of participants with physical disabilities in certain elements of an educational dance program and to verify which aspects of the intervention had greater or lesser influence. This is a field research study characterized as a program evaluation study, based on intervention in educational dance in 24 sessions. Four children with physical disabilities participated in this research. The data collection instruments were a field diary and the Follow-up Instrument of Learning in Educational Dance (FILED). Data analysis was performed qualitatively and quantitatively, based on descriptive statistics. The dance skills and elements that indicated expressive results were laterality, movement rhythm, exploring directions (front, side and back) and space levels (low, medium and high), understanding and performance of movement factors “fluency,” “weight,” “time” and “space.”
