Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/3577The main objective of this research is to analyze the low participation and the major difficulties faced by women to enter in the labor market of the Ballroom Dance in Belém, state of Pará, Brazil. The study is a historical survey of the path of men and women, in different periods, in the labor market as well as the Ballroom Dance, including the international, national and local contexts. The methodology adopted was the qualitative research by means of a semistructured interview, in a virtual way, performed with seven woman dancers who had at least 2 years of experience in Ballroom Dance, in Belém. The results indicate that, nowadays, most of the female workforce in the marketplace of the studied area is composed of young women, between 20 and 36 years old. Six out of seven interviewees have a college degree course and six of them stated, taking a look at their context, that male professionals dominate the area. According to their speeches, women are still marked by gender prejudice in various backgrounds. Even though there is a gradual evolution, the achievements are not satisfactory yet and the interviewees long for greater fairness and female participation, outside the power relations between the genders in their professional branch. Therefore, it is urgent and necessary that professionals and practitioners of the Ballroom Dance break the barriers and social constructions that are harmful to them and for all who wish to work as a ballroom dancer in Belém. Finally, the empowerment and qualification are essential to assure women's welfare, both in the personal and professional spheres, and the valorization of women performing at the Ballroom Dance.Acesso AbertoDança de salãoMulheres - Mercado de trabalhoFeminismoBallroom danceWomen - Labor MarketFeminismCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::ARTES::DANCATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
