The Drag art has grown considerably in recent years. The increase of visibility has encouraged new artists to embark on this art that encompasses several aspects of acting, allowing a greater adherence to this type of work. Dance is one of the tools commonly used by Drag Queen. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to identify the importance of dance in Drag Queens' life in the city of Bauru-SP. To achieve this purpose, the history of these artists was investigated from before they became Drag Queen, further narrowing the perception about the context that led them to live this art. It was also discussed the references, inspirations and processes that guided them in the process of creating their Drags and the path to the production of their presentations. From there, it was questioned about the possible influence of the dance in their work. These data were obtained through an exploratory research with the participation of 10 Drag Queens through an interview. The interviewees reported their experiences during the process of constructing their Drag, revealing their difficulties to develop a performance work increasingly valued by the general public. They also exhibited their strongest points as an artist and reports of situations through because they went on to become Drag Queen. Through the results obtained at the end of the process, it was possible to understand that the dance directly or indirectly caused influences in its trajectory as an artist.
