The present research aims to analyze, from narratives, professional dancers‟ life trajectory, who currently understand them as homosexuals, are under-graduated in Physical Education, and work with dancing. It was analyzed the impact and consequences of homosexuality on these professional teachers‟ career, besides describing their family relationship, their primary academic qualification, and their labor market. The sample was comprised of five professional dancers/teachers. The methodological reference being used was qualitative wise. As the purpose of the research is not limited to a single case, but to a pre-selected group of professional dancers/teachers, the adopted procedure for data collection was a multiple-case study. It was chosen, therefore, a life trajectory‟s study case. The research was made by means of a thematic semi-structured interview. An intentional sample was chosen, as the selected sample is formed by individuals who work with dancing, are openly homosexuals, and whose academic career was in Physical Education field. In order to process the data, the content analysis technique was used. The results show that mothers are present as the major family reference and demonstrated, likewise fathers, their concerns relating to teachers‟ low pay. Today all families accept homosexuality. The Catholic religion, however, sprang the feeling of inferiority in two interviewees. All the interviewees found through body practices a greater acceptability from workmates and friends. Concerning labor market, it was identified a preference for working in non-formal environments, the existence of few public policies for dancing in Rio Grande do Sul, that prejudice is still present in both formal and non-formal workplaces, and that there is a concern relating to who is integrated in the labor market, since many dancing classes tutors do not have the necessary formation, according to the interviewees. It is believed that the present research contributes scientifically for gender and sexuality studies. However, many studies related to this theme can still be put into practice.
