This research aims to analyze and understand the institutional background of Dance Course Full Degree, from the University of Cruz Alta, here named Course of Dance UNICRUZ (1998-2010), from the project of its founders to the speeches of its final protagonists, bringing subsidies for reflections on the historical and social context as to its existence. It presents the historical process, pioneering, integration and relevance for the State of Rio Grande do Sul, especially regarding to the professionalization of dance activity. It attents, also, to the trajectory of the Course - the context of its creation, implementation, recognition, leadership and discontinuity discussing about the academical graduation in Dance in Brazil. The research is characterized as qualitative and adopts the methodology of oral history, especially the semi-structured interviews, which were conducted between July and October 2014. There were also collected various documents, such as minutes, ordinances, brochures, newspaper clippings and photographic images. This is, therefore, a study of memories of former exteachers, ex-students and people who were involved with the Course of Dance UNICRUZ. In addition to the reconstruction of the history of this course, the research was interested in the senses and meanings attributed by respondents to their experiences in this space, in the ways in composing their memories, the memories and forgetfulness that they actively built when instigated, provoked, mobilized by their memories, when narrating them during the interviews. Thus the Dance Course was subject and theme of the speeches and, these, in turn, the threads of the plot of this study. The work followed and analyzed the three phases of the Course: its creation, its consolidation and its consequences. Although the Course has been consolidated and contributed to advances in dance studies in Rio Grande do Sul, in 2010 formed its last group. These events do not annihilate the Course, they make it intelligible when we notice the relationship of a Course with its time. The analysis of the memories gave the possibility to evaluate that the course followed a trajectory depending on the conditions of the context in which it was developed. The history of the Course of Dance UNICRUZ represents a milestone in the history of the academical degree in Dance in Rio Grande do Sul, as since its creation, there were settled seven other courses in the State.
