Popis: The objective of this research is to report the experience of students attending classical ballet classes offered at a university of the best age in the city of Campo Grande - MS. From a qualitative approach, she used semi-structured interviews to identify the meaning of ballet classes and the contributions of this activity to the quality of life of eleven students of the institution. The theoretical basis was constructed with the authors: Ferreira et.al (2009), Leal and Haas (2006), Martins (2014), R. F. Marbá, et. al. (2016) and Witter et al (2013), who reported some benefits of dance classes among them improving functional and physical fitness and reducing the deleterious effects of advancing chronological age. All the students declared that they were fulfilling a girl's dream, feeling more "young", that they lost their shyness and the biggest factor of satisfaction was to go up on stage and present the choreographies learned during the lessons.
