With an exploratory and documentary profile, it presents a qualitative approach and uses the case study as methodology. Bearing in mind the training of the researcher as a future teacher through the Degree in Dance, as well as her participation in the Pedagogical Residency Program between August/2018 and January/2020, we consider her involvement with the field and object of study. Starting from the premise that art is a substantial and indispensable area of knowledge at school, the research problem involves questions arising from experiences during he graduation. From this perspective, her participation in the interdisciplinary art/pedagogy nucleus of the aforementioned teacher training program, culminated in the following research question: What are the necessary elements for teacher training to promote art in school?
