This article aimed to understand the extent to which dances classified as First and Second functioned as places of educational for women in the society of Axixá, Maranhão, in the 1960s. It was anchored in the dimension of Cultural History; methodology of oral history. Bibliographic and field research was carried out. Semi-structured interviews were used with 6 (six) local old people. It was theoretically supported in: Chartier (2002a, 2002b, 2010) and Bourdieu (2007, 2012). It was identified, in axixaense society of the 1960s, the existence of dances classified as “First” and “Second”, being for women rigidly defined those who could attend. It was concluded that the “First and Foredances” and “Monday” functioned as educational places for women, since, through their dynamics and practices, they educated women about their places in local society.
