Resumo: The following article is the result of a research related to the meaning that students and primary school teachers give to circus activities in physical education (PE) class. This research is framed into the phenomenological interpretative paradigm and no – experimental qualitative methodology, seeing that the central is to understand notions of significance in the context of circus PE. In the study emerges with clarity the lack of space of sub-sector to develop and display this core theme. On the other hand, it allows to visualize the relevance within the curriculum model, understanding that this paradigmatic approach surpass the mechanistic, dualistic and instrumental perspective given to Physical Education, to focus the view on the new meaning that emerges from participants’ conceptions and experiences about these activities.
