The motor learning has investigated processes affecting the acquisition of motor skills, or in the case of the elderly population, yet the reacquisition. Thinking about this particular group, it is noticed a decline in motor performance with advancing age impairing quality of life and functional capacity decline. Thus, balance is a fundamental aspect engine for locomotion and important to prevent falls, responsible for increased incidence of fractures. Considering this context, there is the importance of physical activity and participation in social groups, generates benefits in the sense of wellbeing, in the perception of body image and self-esteem, in the perception of control and confidence. In this sense, this study aims to determine whether the practice in dyads with external focus of attention, have an influence on learning a complex motor task of dynamic balance in elderly. The study involving the manipulation of variables in an attempt to establish a relationship of cause and effect. Using as main theoretical the ecological theory of human development of Bronfenbrenner. The results for time in equilibrium, do not demonstrate significant differences (p> 0.05). Is possible to affirm that motor learning was not affected by the use of a protocol in dyad, the group had not demonstrated inferior results to the individual protocol. These results are important the extent that indicates the work in pairs as a facilitator of classes, which can provide savings in time and resources, which would be interesting in view of the management of exercise programs for the elderly
