Contextualise, identify, and describe the characteristics of the teacher’s professional practice is not easy. Recent researches on work and the influence of the concept of practice have contributed to the budding of studies aimed to explain aspects of the work and to clarify its features compared to the knowledge and know-how. In the Practice Theory perspective, and considering the work as a performance, this article reports the results of a field study. The present paper draws attention to a particular category of analysis, the dance that not only emphasizes the role of the body and of movement, instead proposes a reading of the work as a practical and situated activity.References
