However, there is limited literature analyzing the role of dance in interdisciplinary educational projects. Objective: The main objective of this study was to understand the perceptions of Physical Education and Music Education teachers regarding interdisciplinarity and the role of dance as a unifying element between these subjects. Methodology: Following a phenomenological design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four primary school teachers of Physical Education and Music Education from a charter school. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The findings revealed that dance provides numerous benefits for students, including improved coordination, rhythm, movement, and balance. Teachers emphasized the importance of coordination between educators, the availability of adequate spaces, and student motivation for the success of interdisciplinary projects. Discussion: The results align with previous studies that highlight the potential of dance to enhance student motivation and engagement in both Physical Education and Music Education. The integration of dance in teaching practices facilitates holistic learning experiences that encompass cognitive, physical, and emotional development. Conclusions: Dance effectively serves as an interdisciplinary link between Physical Education and Music Education, promoting student motivation and teacher collaboration. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on the educational value of dance and its role in fostering interdisciplinary learning.esDanceDance educationPhysical educationMusic educationPedagogyPsychologyThematic analysisSociologyThe artsValue (mathematics)Interdisciplinarity between Physical Education and Music Education in primary education through dancearticle
