Background: Circus manifestations in physical education classes are a contemporary obligation. However, some issues are pointed out by teachers who work with basic education, evidenced by their interface with an initial and continuous educational development. Objective: To analyze the possibilities of teachers for the thematic circus activities in Physical Education classes. Methods: A qualitative research was carried out by eight teachers working in elementary education in public schools in the city of Mauá (São Paulo, Brazil), with descriptive and explanatory approach, using a content analysis technique. Results: It was possible to notice that the physical, material and technical constraints are pointed out by the teachers as determinant aspects for the non-approach of the theme in their classes. They demonstrate limitations in relation to theoretical conceptions, evidencing the need for a more solid and contextualized training in the initial formation of teachers as well as in continuous education. Conclusion: Teachers have many limitations on pedagogical treatment and these are associated with initial and continuous education.
